Aluminum has replaced steel on body panels and also has found its way into vehicle structural components. Aluminum has unique characteristics and can not be treated the same way to traditional metal panels used in the past; care must be exercised in placing grounding clamps because of the electrical conductivity of aluminum. In addition, applying too much heat (over 215c) in repairing dents on aluminum will deform or make it lose it strength.
All in all, it is not an easy task repairing aluminum bodied vehicles.
