Thanks for the links. I had not thought of semi truck parts as a source for coil aluminum. It looks like they have 0.040 inch thick in 103" width which is quite beefier than the 0.024 I have found at rv supply. We did get a piece of .025 to test bending around the front curve and also folding down the sides. I have not tried it yet.
