If anyone is using 1 1/2X1 16 ga tubing I would be shocked.........but then again?
You are correct tape is not a perfect system and when it has a problem it is a big PITA. With that said please remember that the aluminum is going to expand and contract no matter how it is fastened. As much as I hate white generic looking crap you will have less problems with a light color than a dark color simply becase of expansion from heat. With that said when the body is skinned I scuff pad where the tape contacts the panel and use a primer which seems to eliminate most of the problems.
Don't look underneath these trucks it'll scare the hell out of you.....
