Spar construction

Hello all,

Just wondering what the main spar actually is in GA aircraft from 172's to Cessna 421's etc?

Is the spar an extrusion or sheet metal or cast or what?

Looking at some of the kit planes it appears their spars are just some sheet metal and it boggles the mind that it can withstand all these forces without buckling.
