If it runs it would probly make a great car. I have never built one of these but, I helped a buddy put a fuel pump in one a few years ago,,,, and the whole underside was coversd by one big a$$ skid plate. If you do scrap it,,,,, I know a lot of porches had a $hit ton of aluminum under the hood.

Run it then scrap it. If you don't think it is strong at all, then keep it stock for the derby. If it has potential then build it good and run it. Either way, run it then scrap it.
