Sounds like a good idea....I love working with stainless!...The other point not touched on is cost. Made in volume is fine,but a 1 off in stainless and laser cutting can become expensive for the average Restorer.
But if youve access to a Mig,cobalt drills,a bender and a laser cutter/or access to... then go fo it! And I love polished stainless so I wouldnt be painting it...although it may blind you whilst trying to mow lols.
