GB for Defined Autoworks AST

Many companies charge a good bit for the aluminum AST's, and we keep building them for local guys. So putting out a GB offer and see if there is a list of 10 people who would be interested. Price is $115.00 which is a good amount less than current choices on the market.

Bolts on just like factory, uses the factory lines.

Anodizing in Red, blue, green or black is available at a additional charge of $15. Everyone who wants anodizing will have to agree on the same color.

If we get 10 people on the group buy then its $15 extra for black. If its on a one person deal, that one person would have to absorb the anodizing cost. Which is too expensive. It uses a standard american radiator cap which can be purchased at any auto parts store

$115 is not shipped, shipping varies by location. Usually $8-10 to ship it. With everything else going on it will take a week to get it made for you. We are insanely slammed with work at the moment

Dont get me wrong here - I'm just wondering where the $100+ is going?
It's NOT going into the weld quality or the materials.

Logan, I'm not attempting to bust anyone's ***** here - just interested in why the cost is at $100+

Pretty simple, $15 for the cap, $25 in materials, and over 1+ hour labor. Normal labor charge is $85/hr. So technically I should sell these for $140+, but put in a discount.

I need a run of 10 guys to offer it in black at a cost increase of $15. If you alone want one in black then the anodizing cost will be $70! Its done in batches, so I cant help on the single cost.
