I was actually hoping it would be made of plastic. I'm sure the initial prices would be higher (price of mold), but then it should be cheaper.

Then again I don't know anything about this, hence the reason I pester Ray. I'll gladly pay him a finders fee.

I'd have to go over it with Ray, but probably in the $550 range.

It is a very sexy setup... $550 is a little steep, but I would consider paying it. It would certainly clean up my engine bay a bit.

Each of the bottles is made from polished billet aluminum.
Includes a bracket, pressure cap, filler caps and fittings.

Skip the polishing and powdercoat it flat black; then powdercoat the center cap yellow - and I'll buy it.

Haha, I'm not sure what "gonna burn down" means, but as long as it doesn't involve fire, I'm good to go.

No - it actually involves fire + booze + girls + fast cars + all the other things your mom worries about.... LOL; Just Kidding

I'm gonna try to come by for dinner - I have to fly Sat at 0600hrs... so my desire to get drunk and stupid may have to be toned down.

Maybe we can turbocharge something? LOLOLOL

A Ski-Doo with 250 HP would kick ***.

Alright, it's cool with me. We're open for the evening from 4-8. Beers are still on me. My other ride is a '98 CR-V. It's pretty gutless. Maybe we can rig up a leafblower to it and call it a day?

I told Charles that Phill's motor clearly needed some new cams. Instead he decided to throw in some titanium valve springs.

Good, then back to your house and some more mods.
