I like the plywood bulkheads. This is much easier than aluminum and is such a small part of the design, it will only add a little extra weight. If you make the floor/ mounting point of the storage area run all the way from side to side, the tail won't be able to tip. You will also want to catch it at the bottom of the front somewhere to keep it from tipping. Did you buy coated sign paper for the top or just use old signs? I can't seem to find a way to buy it yet. How wide is the tail across the front and across the middle bulkhead?
