I read online that the s197 hoods are made from aluminum to save weight. Is this true? I thought all of them were made from steel.

Aluminum. Try sticking a magnet to it.
Well,,, they really are not much lighter at all... Its mainly for the shape and ducts me thinks.
I don’t think so.Are there any other body panels on our s197s made from aluminum?
Alum? Not sure about that Believe they were fiberglass, Mustangs have been using that for hoods & trunk's since 2001
Apparently some have missed the jillions of discussions about the aluminum hood bubbling up from corrosion under the paint.
