how would YOU go about getting 10-20 chassis?
Hi,  
 
I'm looking in to making a small run of amps with a friend of mine and I'm just looking for some ideas to get a good professional looking chassis.  
 
The initial idea was to get pre-made marshall style chassis and having faceplates made at a trophy shop. For some reason the tropy shops were quoting me at something like 100 per amp and that seemed way too steep. Some said that the setup was a huge pain in the ass because you'd have to match up the existing holes, as it should be.  
 
So....... how would you guys go it???  
 
Do you guys know of any custom chassis manufacturers?  
 
I've looked in to a few ways, but I'm really open at this point. If you were to say, buy blanks, drill 'em yourself, powercoat 'em your self and silkscreen them, I might even go as far as doing that.  
 
Thanks.
