Great stuff Bry! I'm looking forward to going through these. Didn't Honda build an F1 car in the '60s that had a magnesium body? It crashed and caught fire and burnt ferociously.

The magnesium-bodied Honda was the 1968 RA302. Jo Schlesser sadly lost his life in that crash at the French Grand - Prix.

It was the aircooled motor that was magnesium.
