A person will end up with about $65 bucks or so for 2 sets of 5 holders.

10 3/16 rods is about $20
1 can of-plasti dip is $7
T-bar is about $30 for enough for 2 bars
misc hardware is about $5

I haven't got the bases made yet, but they will be similar to the drift master T-250 series. Pictures will follow with the finish. I will not use the extruded aluminum for the post to the base. My buddy and I haven't got that much in materials due to having some of the stuff already.

If you count the time thinking it about it, your building time, and figure your time is worth minimum wage, you'll have about $500 in the build:D
