[s-cars] 2B Camber Plate Group Buy - Initial Interest Poll

[Bill Clancy]

But they are toooo  expensive.     don't you think?    They are metal plates 
with holes drilled in them for  400+.

I can make those in my garage ( in probably will) for free).

Am I way off here?

Maybe the group price brings it down but I think Mr. 2-Bennet is ripping us 
off -- and doing a good job of it.
