I found one!

I have wanted a Sonnett for 30 years, ever since I wrenched on my friend's 1967 two-stroke. Today I found a complete, running 1974 Sonnett III with 97k for $500. The only obvious mechanical flaw is an exhaust header pipe bent backwards. Tomorrow I plan to look underneath, do the curb test, compression check, drive it in some tight circles to test the CV joints, etc. If it checks out and the title is clear, I'm going to buy it.
My questions: If they can make boat hulls out of fiberglas, why can't you apply enough to the rocker panels to make the car stiff enough to drive? It won't be a show car, but at least the doors will close properly. Also, how much trouble can I expect if I have to replace the exhaust system?
I owned several two-stroke 96s a hundred years ago and have kept an MGB running for the last 18 years, so I'm not afraid of skinned knucles. Am I nuts enough to be a Sonnetteer?
