Message	zinc gold coating on a stock pan with welded on sheet metal box and price it at $650? What if you showed it without the zinc coating and show it in its truest form -- a stock pan modified with no coating. Then a lot people would cringe at it for the price. People on here buy with their eyes more so than function. Nice work
