Why 18 oz cloth? That's some heavy stuff that is going to soak resin like a fat sponge.

Yes for compression strength, but nothing else.
Just driving at highway speeds, think of all the forces buffeting.
Without a good tensile / shear strong skin+adhesive, everything will fly apart.
Yes super thick glass is overkill, but. . .
