Overhead console housing bent and complete

After cutting the aluminum to the pattern that I made I took the pieces to a friends shop to use his brake to bend it all up. Unfortunately since I don't use his manual brake very often I make a slight mistake in my bends and my overall width was about 1/8" too wide. I ended up having to cut the whole piece in half, taking 1/8" off the halves, then welding them back together.

I installed nutserts on top to mount the console to some brackets that I'll weld to the cage. I then installed nutserts to hold on the face plate.
