How would you do this?

Watching their construction video, it looks like the glue up a wide panel for the bottom and then glue the frame to this bottom panel. You could glass this panel before gluing on the frame.

Then they strip up the rails. After this has been completed you could brush epoxy onto the interior. This looks like it would be annoying but not impossible. Alternately, you could assemble the rails on the frame but don't permanently attach them. Pull them off, maybe clean up the interior a bit, epoxy and glue in place.

The top panel is preassembled before gluing down to the frame. This could also be glassed before installation.

Glassing and sealing the interior would definitely add some steps to the process, but I would think it was worth it.
