Re: The price of parts. Where do you draw the line?

is this gouger in my home state? there is a localish guy who quoted me FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS for a hood but he wanted to keep the trim, hinges, inner braces, springs. if he could have taken off the welds easily I think he might have. I told him no thanks.

if i needed a piece of custom glass i might make a pattern in thin plastic, and transfer that pattern to a piece of lexan. incredible stuff, cut it with a jigsaw, drill it easily. I used it in subwoofer boxes years ago and the piece I cut out I would put in a vice and offer 20 bucks if someone could break it with a sledgehammer. but you can bend it to custom shape easy, and sand it to the right size.
