[Merv Schweigert]

Any machine shop with a brake can bend up a front U shaped panel
like what is used on the K3,  then all you have to do is match some
paint.  Black should not be difficult.  
Same with all the other panels,  just the correct aluminum thickness and
have a shop shear and bend up what you want. 
I bet there are a lot of guys with access to a shop with brake and shears.
