Thanks for the help BB.

Seems some others are blind.

Nah--that's just how this group operates. Seems the best way to
utilize this place is to lay out your project, entertain the ensuing
brainstorming, pick the ideas you like best, and reply to those. Seems
to move along most quickly that way.
Besides, the audience in here is mostly homebrew (this is a rec.*
group, after all) so the first instinct is to scrounge. Then buy, if
that doesn't work. So, most experience available in here has a lot of
recycled car and truck parts in it.
Be nice, relax, adapt.
Personally, I'd look into the leaf spring suggestion--they make quite
good hammers and hold a shape well under abuse. At least find out what
kind of metal if you're a stickler for "from the mill" material.
