Are stock hoods fiberglass?
Was at the Vancouver International Auto Show on the weekend and noticed that the SS Camaro hood felt like fibreglass.
Are the Gen5 hoods fibreglass? Probably been answered before, but it's too generic a thing to search for and I couldn't find it. Thanks, Tom |

I believe the hoods are but the body isn't. At least thats what my dad said when he did the knock trick.

You are correct that aluminum does not rust. It corrodes. Kept me employed repairing aircraft for years. Want proof? Just look at a set of aluminum wheels that have been through a couple winters with salt.
