Perhaps BZP can say how much wood he's replaced all ready.
I think it's Okay for roof racks and woody bodies, but underneath a vehicle the environment is not so kind. Wood absorbs water, and it crushes under the fasteners and gets sloppy.
Agreed aluminum is lighter. For sheeting, I like Polymetal and 1/8" ABS sheet.
