Hello Coupeguy
For an all-original coupe, I'd do what you suggest in a New York minute. However, I was focusing on the attribute of light weight, and not originality for my use. Hence the consideration of making them out of aluminum.
I have three or four original exterior rocker covers, and all are sorta "cheesey" in some way or another... they would need work before fitting them up to the car. Making new covers from aluminum would be cheaper and lighter than OEM for me. Regards,
