I know man. I can only justify so much in race car parts on my ride that is primarily a street car.

I'm hoping he can get it done under my breaking point dollar wise.

I'm not throwing the number out there until after Pete does though... lol

Market price of gold as of March 4, 2015 is $1,196 per ounce. Your message 'cover a set or two', showing two one ounce bars? So one bar, value $1,196, is one 'set' where a set is four units (one for each wheel). That's fair.

I was looking around online, and found a pair of billet tail light housings for a 1st Gen Camaro. Two pretty simple pieces of billet, using a lot less material than a knuckle, and with no design change considerations, or structural integrity requirements. They're more than $500 for a pair. Considering all the changes Pete's making, the strength required, the difficulty in machining, and the amount of billet/number of knuckles, they won't be cheap. Will they be awesome, and worth the asking price? Absolutely, but the price will be set accordingly for custom billet structural components.

Only a mild form of torture because dead people don't buy Knuckle Drops.
