This already looks better than I expected! And by better, I mean more badass!

I did a similar course a few years back. Was gonna suggest you don't bite off more than you can handle given the limited time.
On the other hand go for it. Just have a few different options should time start to run away from you a bit.

do I just flip the shock mount around so the shock can lay flat, parallel to the top tube of the urt and mount the other end to the steerer/pivot area?
Now is the time to draw graphs and do maths.
Also consider the failure mode, you don't want a shock to be aimed at your face if something fails.

Here's what I'm looking at so far.
Will probably make something that mounts above the headtube and hangs down to mount the top of the shock to, may move the bottom shock mount inboard a bit. Dropouts can't be used as is so will hopefully plasma cut new ones with integrated disc mount or try and utilise premade dropout and disc mount section of another donor fork.
Edit: Or do I just flip the shock mount around so the shock can lay flat, parallel to the top tube of the urt and mount the other end to the steerer/pivot area?
