cdjones, if there is a "metal fabrication" shop around I think they can "fab" the pieces and probably save you some money! That wood is a little pricey and so is the shipping!! I have a fab shop about 10 miles from me that I've been told they are good but as of yet I have not personally used them....yet. It appears you are not trying to stay totally original so I would say go for the metal. Do it once and forget about it. Just my .02

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
