Default Any sheet metal part for any car, no dies used

This is aluminum but in the future mild sheet steel may be able to be formed. Although I think aluminum sheet metal parts for a Model A would be a good idea to save lots of weight. The sheet metal part is a CAD model and then a machine forms it without the use of a die. The cost is probably high but that may come down in the future. It is the machine time that eats up the money.
