Well, "CFECO", if that's what your name really is...
I talked to a SF author, standing next to his fiberglass sports car built over a corrugated cardboard core in the 1970s. I think it was Vernor Vinge but I can't document that. I have a published picture somewhere of him sitting behind the wheel; who knows when I'll see that again.

I have been thinking of using corrugated cardboard formed into rectangular tube sections, and wrapped with fiberglass, or a bamboo fabric if such a thing is made.

Laminate the corrugated cardboard and band-saw your shapes out of it. With cardboard (or balsa) you want the grain running between the skins, not parallel to them.
You can buy bamboo socks! I hear they're comfortable and wear well.
