I'm looking to make this install as easy as possible so it can be repeated. Also the pan is in two pieces so only the rear section has to be taken down for an oil change.
Right now I'm leaning towards aluminum simple because I can use thin material to avoid excess weight. My friend has the equipment to roll aluminum to make ridge to add strength to flat pieces. Here's some pictures so far of the mockup.
