I've always been so impressed by tradesman who can hand-form a curved panel from a single sheet. More impressive though, is that they can then produce an identical but reversed one for the other side of the car.

Went to the Carol Shelby museum in Vegas and they had 2 x alloy bodies sitting on a stand, apparently he uses Pommy aircraft body builders for his "aluminum" bodies, they mainly do resto work on vintage aircraft however have a small division who are under Shelby lic...... Freekin impressive all the same

Actually the bodies Shellby uses are made by Kirkham in a polish mig factory and you can purchase one of these cars in Australia on road starting at $150,000.00. now if you think that the alloy bodie is impressive then go here and have a read of the full billett Cobra that Kirkham built for one of their customers for the measly sum of $,1000,000,000.00 us. and when I say billet the entire chassis and suspension. A long read but truly a masterpiece http://www.clubcobra.com/forums/showthread.php?t=85278

Sorry my bad, must have left my finger on the 0 button to long, its 1 million as per the story.
The bodies on their kits are hand formed and oxywelded alloy and the quality of workmanship is so good that you can have the body polished as in the first photo. there is no bog in this baby
