If you use stainless wire for the welding portion of it you will be ok.
Drill holes for spot welds on your angle pieces and clamp in place, then do your welding shouldn't be to painful of a chore.
If you can't get stainless wire just use your normal wire for carbon and use some panel adhesive to help it out a bit. (drill out your spot welds as stated before on the strips 1/4" holes and also drill holes in the bedside 1/8" so weld will flow through) Meaning the holes are all lined up large over the small (if that makes sense) also on the stainless wire YOU WILL need straight Argon to weld with stainless wire

Hope this helps
