Default Scale metal body?

OK, I know this is going to sound weird, but I was thinking about what a metal body would look like on mt SCX10, to be scale, I guess it would have to be made of tin foil, or a aluminum, like a coke can? Of course, it would get dented pretty easy, especially the way I drive!, But it would be interesting! Discuss amongst yourselves.

Look in the 1.9 scale section . There are acctually a few guys who have made some pretty amazing metal bodies.

Here is the link to one.
Project true scale - Aluminum Toyota body!

I made metal body panels for my wreckluse out of thin aluminum. fairly lite and the dents and scrapes added alot of character. check it out here:
