Brent, I fully understand what point you are making. I would sooner get a group of 5-10 car guys to approach Don Snyder or Walt Bratton and see if he was willing to throw some sort of discount for a quantity. That way there might be winners on both sides of the transaction. I have dealt with Uvira for getting headlight reflectors coated and collected 15 pairs of Model A Ford headlight reflectors from our club. I had each member mark his or her reflectors on back with a dremel and received a nice discount for everyone. I also went with getting members to pool their money together and purchased 50 cast iron brake drums. The vendor purchased them from Plasemeter and because of the quantity was able to pass on a small discount.
