      It can definitely be difficult to make a large, flat piece of metal behave. For decades cars have had various ridges, grooves, and other features in sheet metal parts to add reinforcement.

        Yeah, from some images the flat panels dent pretty easily, and the dents are more noticeable because everything else is flat. It’s just a horrible design for something that’s intended to be used.

          Unpainted too. Also won’t help. You can’t just touch it up or fix issues that easily. Remember that being an issue with deloreans too.

            Exactly.

            The unpainted bodies of the Deloreans were a pain all around. Pain to form, pain to fit/handle, and once in the hands of consumers, a pain to maintain and repair. They get dull over time, tended to stain and of course showed any sort of fingerprints or such.

            It got to the point where they started painting them, which lead to a whole other level of problems.
