have you ever priced good sheet aluminum? have you ever priced a good fab guy by the hour? i agree they were high,but they are a nice piece and worth the cash or i would not have bought it. i sure he had fixtures and such to do it,but it is still time consuming. i have a *** load of hours machining the part i made manually to get it like i wanted.
A good sheet of Aluminum? It cant cost more then copper or something. I mean people buy aluminum door panels. Either way I dont think their worth the same price or more then a pair of headers. Their nice but not worth it at that amount.
