hmm, don't see why not, as long as you can get all the curves in it (steam bending?) otherwise it'll be a bit sqaure looking

bends are no prob at all already got the new nose cone almost finished much much higher and my side pods all worked out and templated to(trying to really get the shape of the original car) also my rear wing endplates have all the lights set into the rear edge also not skinning ply at all just paint and wrapped.

Hi Bitten,
Have you researched the Double Diagonal method used to make boats?
It is kind of an "On spot Plywood"
