Paul,
When you were building the trunk box, did you also have a shear in your shop. I saw you mentioned the 30" brake from Harbor Freight.

Nope. I don't have a shear. I cut all my aluminum on a band saw with a metal blade if it fits. If too large, use a handheld jig saw with a metal cutting blade. Then clean up the edges with a stationary disk/belt sander. Have done dozens of parts that way and works for me. I've updated my brake with a box brake from Woodward Fab. My Christmas present to myself. Talked about it in my truck build thread. It's a huge upgrade over the Harbor Freight one I used before. But the H-F one, although has limitations, will get the job done for not a lot of money.
