I am in same boat as u are as to what to use for a cover. Fiberglass gets
real heavy fast as would even thin steel. I was thinking of using a frame
of square alum tubing with aluminum foil covered foam panels with a type
of to be selected ceramic insulation. The panels would be covered with
some carbon fibre vinyl. Like u, otheer suggestions welcomed.
