If you want me to print this, I could do it (without the light blue).

It'd also be the most layered vinyl printed shirt I've ever done. Price from me would be $25 shipped on a heather gray Gildan tee. That doesn't include a cut to Mr Bassboy.

I'm happy to make it happen if you guys (and Bassboy) are down!

FYI: SpeedyMetals (despite their amazing jingle) has completely lost their minds. Was going to order some stuff, but I can literally buy it at fleet farm/home depot/etc for the same price (or less?! o_O) . Very disappointed...

With the new tariffs, steel price has gotten dumb.

Indeed it has.....

speedy metals has always had bad prices on plate and sheet.  If you are setup as a customer with Speedy you get a 50% discount off their online price.  The worst part of the tariff for me is that last year I started on a really nice excel spreadsheet of structural steel properties, sizes, prices, availability etc  mostly as a quick reference for economical engineering. Sometimes you find that going from a 3/8" thick angle iron to a 1/2" thick makes a substantial negative impact on price and availability, when going to the next larger size of 3/8" thick angle iron gets you the strength you need for much less jingle.  anyways I need to go through all the prices again at once so I can have a single  snapshot of relative prices to reference. I knew this was going to happen since I didnt enter all the prices at once, but now they probably wont even be close.

Holy hell. They cleaned out you. Haven't noticed any suspicious vehicles?

[P_Roloff]

Damn man, that sucks. I’ll keep an eye out.

That really blows. Check with the local scrap yards. Odds are some junkie scrapped them.

[m42b32]

Man that sucks big time...

[Rekpoint]

Damn that makes two of us in a year

That's what happened because they moved tools and stuff out of the storage unit but just took rims. The set with the drags was the only thing worth much. 

I went to the junkyards but I think they would rather turn a blind eye then loose out on money and deal with the police.

thanks everyone for your condolences

Holy shit man that blows!!!

I would just keep an eye out for those Drags. Those wheels arent very common and I doubt who ever took them has a use for them. 

PEOPLE SUCK.
