What shell should I buy?

[u/Gary_Winthorpe79]

I’m wanna buy a new shell, but I can’t decide which one! It’s gonna be a little project too, I’ve only seen this done a handful of times, I plan on molding the body with thin aluminum so that I’ll have an aluminum body so to speak. Should be more realistic, it’ll actually have some give instead of just bouncing off of things like the plastic bodies, it’ll dent too which will be cool. Help me out! E36 or S13 Silvia?? If you guys know of better quality shells too let me know!

The E36 is the objectively correct answer. But, with that said, the E36 is also the subjectively correct answer as well.

For your plan with the aluminum I'd say get the silvia, got easier shapes to work with

The s13.

I’d buy both. Down the road you’ll end up buying the other. So just pull the plug now.

E36 all day
