aluminum plate.
or if you actually want bullet proof, try titanium...though that would be hard to get, aluminum you can get from cars.

i've started making some out of aluminum plate and rubber. arms and legs are easy to make. the neck shoulders torso and crotch are giving me some trouble

torso is easy. just a plate over your chest.
you can plate your shoulders too.
same way.

crotch...I have no clue.

You are all guessing good, but mostly wrong.
It depends on the type of armor, durability, comfort, and situation.
Some armors you may think are "impenetratable", are far from it.
Imagine. A suit of knight's armor may stop a single zombie bite, but what about two?
Three?
Four?
Five?
A group of zombie's will tear the armor off, and have a buffet.
If it's the infamous "Combat Ready" armor, that's mainly meant for display, it's the worst armor. It's noisy, bulky, uncomfortable, inconvinient, dehydrating, and it will cause delays in walking.
When wearing a suit of armor, you are literally, canned food.
But the best armor of all, is improvisation. Sense. Intelligence.

Yes of course. But plate works in case you lose your sense for a few minutes.
Full plate is completely and totally stupid unless you have it riveted together, and then you can't take it off. Which means the armor kills you before the zombies do.

Then just toughened leather or plastic.
It will keep the zombie off of you until you can shoot it. Or stab it.

Remember to wear blade proof gloves.
