Here was the wire frame I welded up. The curved center part is just a brace to hold it in shape. Imagine dacron being stretched across the outside wires. I hand sewed the fabric on and used a heat gun to draw it taunt. Just laid on some composite reinforcement, I think I had some 25 oz carbon cloth so I just used one layer. Spray glued it to the outside and painted on some epoxy. Once cured just peel it off.

Here is the wire frame.
