At least Half that! $150 is too much money!
I am making them for fun, I'm not going to charge much over what it cost to make them, and I'll post the part list and prices so everyone can see how much it cost.
I'm not into gouging people...
I was thinking about modifying the control panel... having a single momentay push button with an LED, Push to activate (LED illuminates), Push again and it deactivates (LED Turns off) Right now I use a toggle switch, but I think the LED and button would be neater, it would take a few more parts on the PCB, but not much, just 2 IC's, & resistors, capacitors, which are low cost parts anyway.
I am going to have pro looking PCB boards too, check out my most recient PCB Design I did,
its the best damn looking homemade PCB I've ever seen, lol...
I have fun doing this stuff, my goal I guess is to make the money back I paid for my brake/sheer and metal punch, both of those cost a pretty penny, but I need em to cut, bend, and punch holes in metal I still havent got my brake/sheer in the mail yet, was only supposed to be back ordered until 8/28, but I called them today, and now they said it may be as late as 9/13 before my brake/sheer is delievered, those ba$tards. My uncle does own a machine shop, he might let me use some of his tools, or make the piece for me if I give him the measurements, some way or another I'll get it done soon.

OMFG!!!!! The Video shows just how kick @$$ this really is. After seeing it in action I want one now. LMAO. As asked by someone prior, have you thought of making it safe against the elements (Rain, puddles, etc)?
Another thing I was curious about, is it pretty un-noticable when in it's normal position and say, being looked at by a police officer? Like if you get pulled over somewhere and they are looking at your plates they won't be like "Hey whats this motor and chain drive attached to your license plate for....? LMAO That'd suck.
All it's missing now is the message when it flips down. Something like BACK OFF! LMAO.
That thing is too cool man.
