Your craftsmanship is awesome.  For me the wood doesn't look right but that's my opinion. To me wood belongs in a boat not a car.

Well the think the Natural shade of the wood looks nice and it doesnt look like that cheap tin..wanted something different and i have always danced to the beat of a different drummer...i dont think tech will have a problem with it unless he is an " OUT OF WORK CARPENTER"  Look at all the Guys with original door panels in the cars, they are cardboard backing with vinyl covering..just as flamable as my little pcs of wood..

Well, you get points for creative use of materials. If the wood gives you wood, then that's all that matters.
 Nice job....now fab some panels for the exterior sides, put a sufboard on the roof and it will be period correct....LOL

Well, I'd've never thunk of doing that. If it don't pass tech, I s'pose you could always stick some .032 (or whatever's legal) aluminum to the backside with some spray glue. Now, how 'bout painting a blue 'burst pattern on it, just like a huge guitar body?  -Bill
Seduce the attractive, and charm the rest.

489 C.I.D., roller cam, aftermarket heads, tunnel ram, stock '54 Dodge rear axle assembly: which of these doesn't belong?
