If you can mock it up in cardboard, just get a sheet of steel and trace the patten on it. A saw/cutoff wheel/torch will make quick work of it. Or if you know someone with a plasma

Pneumatic shears or pneumatic nibbler. For a big radius and straight cuts like that, either will work. Actually, nibbler because of the gas fill cutout. Pneumatic shears will work if that filler cutout is more than about 6 inches diameter. 3-ish inch radius is about the tightest you can cut with most shears normally depending on shear jaw length.

I thought "NC4x4 style" was: Tear your junk down so that you can crawl over anything, then life happens and your junk gets left on jack stands for umteen years while you webwheel...WTH?!?

You're on the right track, but you left out "buy lots of tools you don't need and justify them by starting projects that you'll never finish"

I sold my welder after I saw @Mac5005's comments on JF's welds....so....I guess I'm just outside of the "clique" (sold said tool)
