$350 for the steel and cutting and another $300 (ish) for my friend to weld and finish it to raw steel. I figured for the risk of my welding skills not being up to par - and the time and wire and grinding discs for my stuffups, etc, etc.... its something better left to a pro. (who's also a friend).
I think I can paint it myself (someone say 'lime green'??
) in perhaps grey Hammer tone
