You are absolutely right about making these parts yourself. If you can do that you have big savings. for example, the bumpers that you would pay 400-500 for can be make under 100. Same for cages. Many of your CORE guys fab up their own stuff and stuff for others that would cost an arm and leg to buy from parts shops.

Most important was you observation that you learn from doing it and repairs are much easier when you built it to begin with.
