I am sure they are stamped and then hand finished.. there is NO way they are fabbing those by hand.

Again, I know my limitations and know I couldn't reasonably make one on my own.. the one on Team Camaro didn't look too tough but I like how this one fits a bit different.

Yep, that's Dodi exactly.. Sorta sad that he can't find anyone else to keep him company.. the dumped boyfriend analogy is SO right on the money..

Actually they are not stamped but cut out by laser then the edges are rolled by hand. A little birdie told me the die to stamp it out was very costly. The hardest part is rolling the edges where it goes to the fenders. That why on Steve's pic you will see tool marks.
