Being a lawyer with a Mechanical engineering degree I have some insite. Money from law would be far superior ( Its divorce! $$$) but the money needed
to make CMC or the like work is about $500k that would ensure a bender that could make most of the chassis with very few cuts! Cant forget that water
jet cutter too
