You definitely can see advantages doing that. And I see where you are coming from with the changes over time with aluminum being. . .MUCH more giving on the subject than CF monocoque.

The problem with it is it takes a ton of time spent checking and re-checking everything to make sure it fits, because once its molded there is very little changing that can be done.

I'm not very capable other than bolting things together of construction so the least amount of welding and fab the better for me. CAD and CF and someone else molding it for me sounds best. I'm good with cad especially only as much as this would need it, but forming the panels by hand is out of range for me.
