Medic , hang in there.No build happens overnight and if it does , they have more money than brains. I love the Rover dream, built for English farmers, to basically be a Farmall piece of equipment. I had some spare time and bang,

rear ladder and cb antenna mount.

Chin up, welders are like flea's on a dog, always a deal somewhere.

Get back to me Medic and I will see if I can find a good stock supplier in your area. Keep checking local pawn shops for a bender and any other tools you might need, It does not take much. See if your local salvage yards have public access, Metal stock is metal stock and recycled steel is just as good as long as it is just surfaced oxidized.Central machinery tools will suffice for your hobby building ( harbor freight tools ). You are not doing production work , so a $1,200.00 bandsaw is extreme when a $150.00 one will do the job and so on.

Good luck on the build and remember Forum Trolls abound, There is always someone who will dislike , disagree or basically are the "Beat the Dog" type. The horse is dead and the whip is wore out.

EMT usually isn't aluminum, it's generally thin wall galvanized.
