I dare you to take two surfing short-boards, mount one on the top of the roll bar, cut the go-karts length out of the other one and fashion front and rear bumpers—and then tension trampoline netting into a hyperbolic paraboloid between the two. It would act like a tinted window, shed rain and the permeability would slow the air but equalize the various high and low pressures on the front, back and sides of a Tromphenwagen shape. 
Do you even have a go-kart? It would be the safest one on the block. |
That's exactly what I would do.
Or make a 'one-shot' mold which includes the allowance for the pie-cut and cast a lighter-weight shell inside that.
The caveat: If you have Femme-bots with goats,stay with the original heavy-wall boat hull.A goat can render a light shell fit for the landfill overnight!
