rectangulars hole in panel

I need to make a total of 44 rectangular holes in some reasonably thinaluminum. 22 of them have to be .56" x .52"; 22 have to be .81" x .52"I had assumed I would be able to go down to harbor freight and buy arectangular chassis punch; no, the cheap generic punches are all round,and the only rectangular punches I've seen are special-order forhundreds of dollars.So... any good ideas (or sources of cheap rectangular punches!), orshould I plan on a day or so with my nibbler and a corner punch?
