For panels on top of the catamaran tubes, maximum 1 inch of panels can be added or else egress is impossible.
Specifics aren’t fully validated, but know that this is a constraint for this project.

May need to weld tubes or tabs onto the Chassis to provide adhesive surfaces
would need to do some analysis to ensure that the bonding area available will provide a structural joint for the sandwich panel solution to remain on.
would need to do some iterations of simulations to find out how many extra bonding area is required.
For sheet metal (if it seems to be the more optimal solution), you would need to outline where welding will occur and if fasteners will be required.
