[CH] Tips for peppers in coldframe?

This week's project is to build a coldframe for my pepper garden (the
peppers were put in about a month to 6 weeks late this year). My garden is
about 8'X4' and we're having day temps around 80F and night temps in the
50's.
I've called around my local greenhouses and none sell any small greenhouse
panels, so I'm thinking of building it out of panels for flourescent light
fixtures (I don't have any cheap glass hanging around). I do have some old
bricks laying around, so I was thinking about putting them in the cold
frame with the peppers to absorb the heat and then radiate it out during
the night.
Does anyone have any experience/tips with using cold frames to hold extend
the seasons for peppers?
Thanks,
