I would think the only thing strong enough would be aluminum angle or channel. which would also be costly. Best bet to me be wood sealed really good and you wouldnt have to worry about for 15-20 more years.

I replaced the bow supports on my Nova with 3/4" ACX plywood that I ripped a tad wider than the originals. Will be coating with Spar before installing. Still a work in progress.

I asked a similar question a while back and the general consensus was to use ply, so I took that path. Also cut my new dash piece from the same 4x8 sheet.

Wood would be my choice also. It'll last fine.
