Wow! Thanks guys. I guess I can take this suit off. Those things sure are hot!!
Plexiglass - Now I didn't even think of that and I can get my hands on plenty of that stuff. I am very familiar working with it also. I can use a heat gun to form the bottom contour... but wait... I wonder just how much heat the plexiglass can actually stand up to? Umm. Guess I will have to do some investigative work there.
Aluminium - Well, I knew Dtec offered that ceramic coating, but really I'm not too familiar with that stuff. At first I thought maybe it was just a ceramic paint, but I guess it's not. Hey! I bet Hobby Lobby or somewhere like that has it. One other thing that sort of makes me want to stay away from using aluminium is the fact that I can't weld. I couldn't weld cast iron when I was in school. I would be sure to turn a nice sheet of aluminium into a puddle of molton liqiud in no time flat! And I surely wouldn't want to use JB Weld cause I think that might turn out looking tacky. I don't know...
Man... More investigative work.
Fiberglass - Now there is something that I have zero experience with, but the possiblities do seem promising. Still wondering about heat though. Shouldn't be too big of an issue since I have seen fiberglass hoods before. Also, since I have it bolted down in three places, vibration shouldn't be an issue. I was planning on using some sort of rubber gromet/washer sort of thing in those places anyway.
Man... Even more investigative work.
You know. This just might turn out to be one hell of a fun project. Thanks again for all the support guys. I will of course keep everyone up dated as things more along.
