Default aluminum

Hi are you getting snow? We are getting lots of rain. Have you done much aluminum work on english wheel? If so i was thinking about fabing a 57 trunk lid to reduce weight, what do you think?

Hi Guys
Sorry some how miss this post Building an aluminum deck lid would be very time consuming and fairly expensive, and as Phil mentioned already available in fiberglass... Tooling up for one would be a huge expense you would want an aluminum inner structure also, were the outer skin would not want to come in contact with the inner.
