Pretty much.



...live wifit. Or go GET a Lotus.

You guys are high tech, using micrometers to determine whether it's fiberglass or aluminum. I would just knock on it with my knuckle and see if it sounds like metal or not! :wink:

Aluminum bonnets were used until around 1971 IIRC before changing to steel for cost savings.
