I've been thinkering with the idea of making those for the past few months, honestly. I'll probably make them for one of my cars soon, if I do, I'll let you know shorty.
Everybody had very good suggestions but Octagons had the best idea, The metal of the can is perfect, it'll bend, it's cheap (don't buy beer shorty

) and if you screw up you have plenty more. Good luck shorty, and don't cut yourself with the soda cans
P.S A nice razor blade can easily slice up a can, just be careful though.
