They are beautiful and I love them but after the heart break of watching Chubby being attached by the weather I went to frp skins for my next two builds. Yes there are a couple coatings that will help but the Midwest winters are not kind if they are left out. Just my two cents worth.

A lot of extra time, cost and weight and will be good to go 20 years after I'm gone, so it depends on what you want.
Enjoy, Chris

Or you could make laminated beams in the same shape and have them flow into a normal tear shape.
With the whole shape flowing to the coupler the walls would be the load bearing structure and very little would need reinforcement or lamination.
