    To answer one question invites other questions as far as doing it yourself. If you enjoy this type of work, can make a little cash, and learn something, in my mind yes. I would not use a torch on the aluminum (as it will just melt it) but a torch for the frame would be advantageous. As far as the type of torch, either one for acetylene or propane based on personal preference. I would recommend a quickie saw (demo saw and some call it a construction saw) with a metal cutting blade for the aluminum. Some cut use a grinder with a cutting blade, it just takes a little longer. Using a saw zaw would be expensive in the cost of blades. Good thing about aluminum, it does not spark so you can cut without fear of fire.

    Give back more to this world than we take.
