Who wants a serial plate?
CoryBee:
So whoever wants one should send me PM with their GIMP\Photoshop files of their Serial and\or dedication plates. Would like to print these out and get everything flattened out.
edit: If you want to wait on pictures from someone who received them already this is fine. They are thin, but I think they look really good. Also, has everyone else received theirs yet??

Cory, I haven't read the whole thread but if it's been mentioned my bad.
Home depot sells aluminum. Really thin stuff, great for this. It's like $8 for a 1 or 2 foot square sheet. That should be enough to do like what, 20 of these or something? I'm pretty sure you can get it thin enough to still tackle with whatever you're cutting with. Take your scissors into the store and try it out first, they can't though you out for trying the metal. It's a state law. Sure it's not aluminum can free but then again you can take pride in the fact that you aren't selling aluminum cans and you don't have to flatten them because the sheets are pre-flattened. That puts your price point at a quarter per for the metal. Not too shabby.
Other than that you're running a bang up service and it's nice to see this personalized touch catching on.

My procrastination gets the best of me too often. Been telling myself to go and check HD for some aluminum sheeting, I know it will beat out these cans. In fact, that comment tipped the edge for me. I am going to go get some of this A.S.A.P.
This way is also less work in shaping the metal so I wont increase the price for them for the people who already placed their orders with me.
Thanks for the compliment, I think it is the final straw on our homebrew "TimeMachines" that makes it into something special. A bit of authenticity if you will.
Anyways, I will update you all on the material I come up with. Until then keep the designs coming!
CoryBee:
Okay peoples.
$4.00 per plate, for now, with proper aluminum.
Hopefully this seems fair and still allows a cheap price, and still allows me to help out the members.
(I am not taking into account the future medical costs of me inhaling clear coat :laugh2:)
