That tub isn't that terribly expensive. Lots of rivetting, plenty of thinking ahead, and a couple hours on a cnc, at least if thats the only
machined bulkhead in front there. Although its probably $150 or so for the material for the bulkhead, and perhaps $500-600 more in Al sheet and
rivets. Perhaps I'm just spoiled being close to boeing surplus. Cheers!
