Mr Carpenters son told the minimum amount of aluminum he can purchase to make 36 Ford scuff plates was $5000 then had to manufacture them just to sell a few sets a year. He said you multiply that by a few other items and it’s a fortune on the shelves with very little return. It’s only going to get worse.

FYI folks.
