Eric- I remember seeing a vid a bunch of years ago of a back country Australian smithy who made a VW Bug floor pan with nothing but a fire, a hammer and a few chisels. Tap Tap Tap then anneal and start tapping again. Somehow this vision came to me as I read your wish to use sheet steel for lugs.
I sandblasted the blanks today and scribed their center and side lines. Soon I'll use pencil and create the shorelines. Andy.
