Question Type of skin used in 1964 ?

Hello, what are the specs on the skin used on a 1964 Bambi II. Is color matching a problem with the new aluminum when polished ? Also source and price estimate per sheet and size ? Any opinions....

Thanks !

The aluminum used is 2024-t3 aluminum.It is all .032" thick but if you are replacing side panels it is a good idea to use .040".I bought my aliminum from Airpartsinc and recommend them.We have discussed this to death click on my name here an you will find many threads with much info.

The new aluminum matches the old when polished.
