I have had good success with bonding 1" hex mesh, aka chicken wire, between layers of 5 mil tarp material using contact cement or general purpose adhesive. For crash protection I have a supply of honeycomb aluminum and .016" aluminum sheet. I see ABS is commonly used on cars. Southco is a popular supplier of fasteners and hardware. We used bonded inserts and screws to attach panels in rail cars. Plastic plugs and wire clips are found at the auto parts stores. Welcome to the adventure.
