Unfortunately,  in Cali it's very difficult to get a crew (and keep them), that are both talented, reliable, and that can keep on knocking out those parts. I'm always impressed by any business that can survive here doing steel fabrication. DOM is up to $5/ft for 1-3/4" .120wall,  I'm sure chromoly is 2-3X. Nitrogen,  (the most abundant gas on earth), got stupid expensive, as well as argon. P&O steel is double what I paid before the plandemic, while any shop owner is seeing both rent & insurance hikes too. I'm surprised more guys don't throw in the towel and just start selling weed instead (half joking), because at least the shipping is cheaper!</blockquote>
