Splinter Supercar Made of Wood If you bothered to check out the construction website, I think you might see that the design and construction are actually very impressive, and safe. Marcos made quite a few race cars with monocoque chassis made of wood. Just like these guys. Only he used Aluminum for the suspension and bodywork. Veneer plywood construction was also how some of the fastest prop fighter planes were built. The only reason the aircraft industry moved to metal was because, like the auto industry found, it needed skilled woodworkers and a longer period of time for each aircraft. They were lighter and stronger, but more expensive. Anyone remember 'The Spruce Goose'?
