it would be very costly for the injection plastic for a hull due to the  
large sizes and thickness of the panels. if anything, fiberglass hulls would 
be  the way to go.
 
someone said something about possibly adding fiberglass to the tracks to  
make them stronger, i don't think that is possible with injection plastic  as 
the plastic in it's liquid state isn't thin enough to properly flow  
through the cloth and fill the plug properly. that and it if didn't work,  they 
couldn't just try to recycle the used plastic do to it now having a foreign  
matter in it.
 
at this point for the tracks, going the way Frank has done it is the most  
practical way at this point.
 
Doug, if you want any help or tips or anything, just give me a shout. too  
bad i still wasn't further back east or i'd offer to stop by and help.
 
I do have a small container of black tint/die. if you want, i'll look for a 
 small container and send you some to mix into your resin so you can make 
some  grayish tracks rather than white (at least i'm guessing what's in the 
basement  is still good, should be...).
