Cellulose Composite from the looks of it. 
Car looks good, though I'd have the Monte Carlo if I were paying out that much cash.

Hi
I would say you should email jarrod "jack" frost at Holeshot tuning, and discuss the quality of z cars work, oh and maybe ask
"imp paul" (in private) to also "enlighten" you, as I think both those parties and a few others may be able to provide
documented evidence (and pictures) to allow you to decide if Z cars is the company for you

Balancing the story up, I have had good experiences with Z-cars service and quality of work.

I would also recommend Z-Cars quality of work and engineering. My mate had the first ever bike engined Mini that Chris built, which he built exactly
to our requirements with the engine in the front and RWD as we needed it to be eligible for rallying. I must admit to having doubts as to whether it
would work reliably but over 5 seasons of serious abuse not a single thing that Z-Cars fabricated gave us any bother, our only retirements being down
to cooking the engine and a bent arm due to getting intimate with a 45 gallon barrel (full of water). He only sold it after breaking his back
navigating for someone else and needing the money while he was off work. He would have it back in a heartbeat.

And in my limited experience - I would recomend Retropower
Mines a spaceframed Fiat 126 with Blackbird power.
They know their cheese !

I suspect you won't find many people (if any) who disagree with that statement!
