All good info - thanks. Found what I thought should be an inexpensive tail rack ... flat 1/4 inch steel plate, nothing fancy, glossy black paint. Thought it looked good until I saw that he wants $200. Drew up my own, cut a template, going to a metal shop tomorrow to see what the cut and weld will cost. I'll do the cleanup, grinding and painting myself.
Can you believe anyone would pay $200 plus shipping for this????
