If you use something like chromoly instead of mild steal, you'll have additional issues like annealing. Guys who do this stuff professionally spend forever setting up their jigs to hold things in precise location so they can repeatedly fab things up.
I think if Dodge can do it, I can do it. But yeah, that's a good point. Not good enough of a point to stop me from trying though, haha.
