Guys,

If the aluminum is being used on the sides of a cargo box, and not an open bed, why not use styrene sheet with that sticky-chromed application? I'll bet one of the styrene companies makes some as a 'siding' for buildings. I'm sure I've seen it about... (Go Go Google Search-Engine!)

And if you ~do~ go as far as having it made from aluminum, remember to take your existing stuff, and be prepared to leave it with 'em so they get it right. Nothing like having it made, and finding out you got a measurement wrong...

As for a scale 53' cargo-box (39.75" scale) why not just order an extra panel or two from Tamiya, and extend the box that way? Gotta be cheaper than aluminum sheet, and if you want it polished, heck, the sticky-chrome stuff will hide any seam, right?

Besides... I'm not sure I've ever seen a seamless 53' box. They ~always~ have a seam somewhere along the side.
