Im a fabricator and have access to a machine shop, what exactly do you need? very small brackets are quicker to make by hand

Would love to build you a set, but I don't think NASA would like it.

well isnt NASA cutting back the space program and letting the russians get to Mars 1st? Gotta earn some money some how, why not build performance parts for the local shuttle drivers trying to break the sound barrier here on the streets?

superiors won't listen to me. I keep telling them how much we could make from the LS1tech junkies.

If I only had the space for a few of the machines we have out here.
