i tried making a template today and i came up to that problem. the inner part of the door isnt exactly flat it would be a pain to do it if i didnt cut it out

are you saying cut it with a grinder or air cut off tool?

and what type aluminumand thickness would be the easiest/most rewarding to work with?
