You never said if you can/have a welder or any metal working tools.You will need plasma or torch & welder,work surface...skill.Youve got the right idea w/the mocking up,,but thats the easy part.

I do not have a plasma cutter, planned on taking mocked cardboard and having the metal cut to size. I do however have a welder and work surface at the shop.

That's not backwards, you gotta have someplace to start. Cant wait to see the progress, keep us updated.

Cardboard is alot cheaper than steel.

That'll be nice to have all the pieces cut out for you.Sounds like you have a plan,,,keep it simple and enjoy the art form.
