[VAC] Re: Aluminum skin

Andy's right on the money. The thicker, alclad wouldn't easily make 
those bends needed for the underbelly and no need for the pure aluminum 
coating that polishes up so nicely with Heculean effort. The underbelly 
sheets are even bent over the edge of the channel along the base of the 
walls on the 58 Traveler. This thinner gauge aluminum makes repairing or 
replacing the belly pan a relatively easy process.
