oh, no i fully believe that OP could do those steps. i don't know why you think somebody wouldn't be capable of jr high metal shop levels of work.
i mean, it's not as easy as mixing up some bondo and betty crocker'ing up the whole thing like a homecoming float; but don't act like it's major fabrication.
Now you left " easily " out of the issue. I'm just saying I see nothing at this point that would lead me to believe the OP could easily do what you're talking about.
