Yeah I just used some 1/4" aluminum that i got from Gainger. Two pieces that were 3" tall and 6' long. Then the two front pieces were cut from one piece that was 8" tall and 3' long. Used a $30 angle grinder for all of the cutting and a grinding wheel to make the radius.

Thankfully I have access to a large press at work and a guy that was able to make it work. In the end they were bent at like 85 degree angle. I don't really have any pictures of that but might be able to get some?

Thankfully I have a work truck so I was able to take my time with this one. Start to finish it took about 2 months. That did include changing a few things and a few orders from TNutz.

See below for my order. Figured that would be easier than trying to explain it
