I am looking to skin in the rear corners on my MC8 so i can ut some custom tails in there... what exactly is the steel in there? i no someone else was asking the thickness, but i always thought it was stainless, not aluminum, which is it? also if i get a sheet cut to size, will i be able to easily wrap it around the corner without buckling or distortion? |

stainless panels. You may want to price the pieces you want from IBP. International Bus Parts, in Florida. They will match up the fluting and bend it the way you want. Supporters of the hobby. happy coaching! buswarrior |

The lower panels that have the tail lights in them are stainless steel. The tail light housing is cast aluminum. Baggage door panels (if OEM) are also stainless steel as well as front panels. All panels above the baggage doors are .063 aluminum. Replacement panels are available from International Bus & Parts in Apopka, FL |
