If you can get steel piano wire it may be less expensive than welding rod to use as a stiffener for the coroplast. Check their website for the latest sizes and products including hex core panels.
Are you referring this? The Recumbent Bicycle and Human Powered Vehicle Information Center

It says: "Once the fairing is created ribs can be exported and printed to allow an easy creation of the actual shell using the strips over ribs technique."

Maybe the ribs could be exported to .dxf and i could cut it with the laser cutter. It would be great to finish the bodywork!
