It is not too difficult to build your own chassis. Laying out the metal (with all the required ears) is the most demanding part. A shear is not necessary. Cutting exactly is the most difficult part,

"I consider a shear essential unless you are not considering looks. Only a few have the skill to saw and file with a professional look." Although I have a shear, that may not be the perfect solution.
