well I decided to bag the fabricate for sheet stock, two reasons

1) 50$ just for the metal alone

2) Not sure if I would be happy with the results anyway.

So....

I found a back from an old console, the kind with the rectangle shaped neck cover which looks more like the orig than the later Triangle shaped covers AND its not as deep (does not need to be since the cabinet is deeper than the typical triangle shaped back cabinets.

I am nearly done with it, just have to epoxy in to small squares in the corners. I think it will look pretty good when done, I will post a video of it later. Best part is its free which appeals to my cheapness.

Still want to thank all those that took pics and got measurements, but in the end it was my uncertainty of the outcome that kept me from trying.
