Frame rails

Can anyone drill a set of 31" rails for a king hauler. I tried it myself but apparently suck at it. I hate to waste anymore. I don't have a drill press and drilling all free hand, the bit seems to walk. I'm not asking for a freebie favor, let me know what you want.
Thanks so much in advance,
Chris

Question????

What is the size of aluminum You use when you scratch build frame rails?

My guess is 3/4 high with 5/16 flange and 1/16 thick.

you can buy blank rails for I think 30 a set. I got mine from true scale r/c in our vender section
