tossing around an air box design in the voids of my brain....ideally all alum. would be nice, but no TIG welder and it seems like using fiberglass would be easier (famous last words, hahahaha), however, for increased strength and for attachments, aluminum or even coated steel would be thrown into the design....

Check out "West System" epoxies at a marine supply place, they make numerous resins, and filler that you can blend to bond metals andglass/kevlar/carbon etc.
