man almost $20 and you could have made it for about under $5 probably less search how to make tutorials , could have saved you some money you could have made your own and just as professional looking

From the photo's and the reviews of forum members, I would say that less than $20 is a very fair asking price for these hand made pieces.

While it's true that you can buy the material for less than $20, you are paying for the work of art.
I mean, I could go out and buy sheet metal, leather, iron and aluminum, etc, for about $20,000, but I'll never be able to turn it into a Ferrari.

not dissing the artist or the work just see these items and know that haunters could make them themselves and be their own creator, instead of paying someone, I always try and find ways to make things if i cant then I may buy the item but if i can figure out how to myself it accomplishes much more than writing a check

A fair comment...
You never know until you try.
Many people say "Oh, I could never do that...I'm just not artistic".
But when they finally pluck up the courage to give it a go, they're very often pleasantly surprised with the results.

Well, I tried to make them last year, which is why I bought them this year.

"$20,000, sheet metal= bad Ferrarri"
"It's The Ferrarri From HELL!"
"Personally owned by satan himself! Low , hot miles. Never pampered. Never serviced.
wrecked 16 times, never fixed.
Have you always wanted one of those new/old Rat rods?
Here it is! The Ultimate Rat Rod!

(Unfortunately it does take me years to get these kinds of projects done.)
I built the all-steel "Plymouth Superbird" front end on my old Ford Thunderbird, it looked like a big Corvette!
I realised my Parents didn't love me when I was a teenager since they wouldn't buy me an XKE, Ferraari or a Ford GT-40! They bought grocerys and paid bills instead!
Where were their prioritys?
