How much did the machine shop charge you for the adapters?

i had bought adaptors on line but forgot to tell them i was using dodge wheels and the hub centric is 1mm smaller on the dodge wheel, so they charged $80.00 to machine the hub centric on the adapter

Great build. That motor is going to be a pretty nice addition.
