Given that once the files are right and the setup's right, making the panels
is a minimal-attention task my as-yet-only-semi-trained stepson who works
for "eats-and-sheets-and-pocket-money" could do, I could probably deliver a
bare panel for about $125 [substantially less if I can get it all in one
setup on the bigger mill I don't have yet HI HI]. I'm a crummy spray
painter, so that part of the equation I dunno...I've got good spray guns,
and -40C dew point air in my shop, and Junior aspires to be an airbrush
artist, but first he's gotta build the spray booth...anybody care to break
their foot off in his counterpoise to motivate him? He's at that age that I
was during the times that I went back later and apologized to Dad for and
thanked him for letting me live...
On a more achievability-driven note, if I do get my hands on an engraved
panel one way or another, that puppy's going to be St. James Grey...

Seems to me a more viable approach would be a service of refinishing
existing panels, or of exchanging an old panel for a freshly refinished one.
It's hard to imagine a receiver being salvageable if the panel has been
damaged beyond what a refinishing job can do.
