Boxite a plenty down the road at the old ali smelters locally
...unless you fill in the engine bay (with engine in) with plywood, hotmelt glue, plaster and body filler, paint it, wax it and pull a mould then lay
up your own bonnet!
need to make your resin from household cleaning materials and melt down your windows to make the glass fibres. Wuss

I'm currently running a survey for bauxite for my next project, but failing that I'm also collecting aluminium drinks cans. I'm
planning to empty a few more shortly

Ive just made one out of Bakelite for that real retro look.I was also going to make my headlamps out of discarded coconuts.
Six months or so and you'll all be copying me.
Cheers,
