Stocker Head confusion

Dwight, that was a nice start on the job in question.

I'd like anyone who questions the price charged for a set of legal Stock heads to please post each operation that is involved in building a set of Stock heads, what equipment is required to perform that operation, how much that equipment costs to own and operate, and what the other overhead costs of a shop are. Next, please post a list of all of the parts required. After that, please post how long it takes to learn to do the job properly, and to know what to look for and how to find it.

You know, racing is just a hobby, to some people. However, it is not just a hobby to the people who do the machine work and build the stuff. They have to make a living at it. Just like you have a family to feed, clothe, and shelter, so do they. And if they're working on racing parts, odds are, they'd like to race, too.

If this stuff is all so simple, try taking your stuff to a local run of the mill machine shop, or even most speed and machine shops, and see how fast you go. It's not that they don't cheat, and the race shops do. It's called experience, and attention to detail.
