I already have the CNC engraving program for the R-390A, we could add 
holes AR to the program and alter it to Non A pretty easy.
We can dupe the program over to the non A also.

On the 390A CNC drill I had close to 50 people THAT SAID THEY WERE GOING 
TO GO FOR IT and on that basis I told the Shop it looked good for 50 se 
he did the program and we did individual panels after being run through 
the time saver to have a good surface to work with after powder coating.
With all of the warping and shimming and time we did 31 panels of which 
14 were mine which I put in to spread out the cost.
Needless to say we both lost our you know what on that deal.

Plus i got accused of ripping guys off on the job. Yeah Sure!!!! Hold 
your breath.

I just called Dave at his shop and he said he would need 50 to add to 
the program and tooling.

Cost I have no idea, have a good source for LEXAN which is not cheap.

If we have over 50 that are truly interested in it is there someone out 
there willing to get the list together for me to get an estimate of 
total cost. I am working 7 days a week and do not have the time to 
answer that many emails. It will be cheaper is each person was willing 
to fill in the lettering, no lettering on the rear.

SO NOW WE ARE AT PUT UP OR SHUT UP. The new LEXAN would be flat so that 
would solve the warping problem.

If there is true interest I will do a WAG estimate based on 50.
