thanks to Chirone I got the idea, I moved all the pieces into transformed position, I haven't modeled any of the pieces that will hold it in place but this is the basic Idea, wanted to see what I had to work with and all that

Thanks again for the help made this whole idea easier to wrap my head around and a lot less frustrating than I thought it would be.

So this is before and after, with wireframes. Basic idea of how it will look when it's done.
