Yeah, I was talking just materials. I couldn't find it for $700 even without needing any metal work. I've never seen a source for materials that cheap, even junk.
you must not get out alot!. also, i do not buy sandpaper for just one job, or by the little pack at the store. i buy 10 rolls of 100 sheet per roll,3 gallons of primer, etching,........ alot cheaper when bought by bulk.
