Are you familiar with wood strip canoe construction? If not you should google it.
As far as crumple zones go; home fiberglassing is rather finicky, and it's impossible to really know how it would smash up with out smashing it up (and if you made a second, it would likely act differently). I would suggest going with a welded frame, and rather flimsy 'glass body.
How do you plan on getting a windshield for this? I have some experience with glass fabrication, and it would likely cost well over a grand to have that fabricated out of regular glass, and then who knows how much more to have it laminated. As for the side windows, you would have to find a company who can temper glass, and is willing to do a small order of a custom part. I don't now if such a company exists. It would be a different story if you were making 10,000 of these.
