yeah thats what im doing too, im gonna use 1/8" alluminum sheet and square tubing, and I beams, I wanna make it power too.
I'll use weatherstripping along the outer edge to seal it, and stop negative vibration, aluminum is less likely to warp from bouncing, in a heavier thickness gonna do it in the summer.

oh yeah it'll fit inside the rim of the box, so it'll be flush.
A guy could build a mold and crank out a few units out of fiberglass, but it would cost a fortune!

what about a homemade soft tonno? That wouldn't be too hard maybe

soft cover seems like maybe it could be easy. square tubeing frame and just wrap it in whatever material. ?? maybe

probably just wrap with some vinyl, if you decide to go that route let me know how it goes and how much materials were(kinda interested in it myself).
