    Good point I was leaning towards either aluminum or PVC.  But  you
might be able to use some of the molding techniques  for making curved
shapes, such as for around the air pump on side shields for spitfire
engine bay.   These  techniques are  basically making some type of mold
and then applying heat to from the plastic.  I plan on replacing the
side shields my spitfire over the winter.
