73/74 interior panels , metal or aluminum ?

Regarding pins and rattle, OEM panels have this recess that fits a pin's head in such a way that it is flush.

That would make sense why the new generation pins could work with thinner material as the clamping force is optimum at a thinner point if not countersunk.

First panels are a fact , my buddy cut out a test run out of 11 gauge aluminum . Pretty happy with them but minor modifications needed on the side panels for some measurements, not easy recreating something from a set of 30 year old beaten up panels but he pulled it off . Hoping to make the adjustments next week and start running a large batch of them .

Cut some of the side panels last week , hope to get the rest done this week and find out my total cost so I can list a few of these .
