    Welcome to the forum :hattip:

    There wasn't a lot of structure to those old aluminum shells, the skin was over 2 x 2 lumber with paneling on the inside. Study some old photos to get the style and you could probably build you own, using modern adhesives and sealants it would probably be far superior to the originals.
