It's an issue I am going to have to deal with in a couple of years. The aluminium wings on my 68 4/4 were installed in the mid 80's, according to the records with the car. They don't have the wire edge reinforcing so I guess they are "super form." In any case corrosion is becoming an issue. My hope is that they will be repairable when, in a couple of years, I have to tackle the job. I will be paying to have the work done. Would I go to fibreglass? As a last resort, yes.
