OT - trailer siding?

Sign shop supply houses sell .060 painted aluminum in 4X8 sheets.

How about some flexible fiberglass sheeting? No painting with that. I've seen some thin stuff at plastics suppliers and even the Home Despot-type of joints. The only problem you'd have with it is getting it attached so there's no stress points where cracks might start. Glue it onto the existing aluminum skin for backing, maybe? Just another possibility.

Thanks Brian. Would that be from a roofing supply?

I've been known to haunt a speed shop or two, though they are a dying breed, and I've yet to see any of that. Maybe at the local dirt track shop? I bet they use that stuff on those IMCA modifieds.

Good suggestion, thanks!
