Me, being someone who has sculpt and cast things, as well as hand-made custom cases for myself, I would be worried about keeping things straight to avoid deformation away from the tolerances needed.

If you could find a good method to make it happen, and you enjoy the process, then why not? It would be interesting to see just if it could be done.

Yep, precision will be an issue, make sure to make the chassis then make your plate to fit however it comes out.

Personally, I'd also worry about accoustics, I suspect they will be attrocious.
