Default scratch building shock towers

i previsouly had the forum of bullet proofing a rusty, and i desided to go with alunimum shock towers. the 25 dollars per tower is still a bit pricey, so i decided to scratch build them. it is the same size alunimum 1/8 inch. it is much cheeper to make them yourself. for a sheet of the alunimum is 12"x6"x1/8" is only $12.00. i will be able to fit both the front and rear shock tower and then some on one sheet. so i am going to scratch build them. btw, it is t6 alunimum and its made by K&S. i am going to get my metal from www.happyhobby.com. i do work for them so i know what all goes on. if we dont have what your looking for in stock, we can get what you are looking for in about a week. if you would like to know the number, it is (414)461-6013. the owners name is laurie

does anybody have any expierence with working with alunimum? or scrach building some parts?

any help will be greatly apprieciated
