Virtually every part of the businesss should be more profitable at the margin for the K's, leaving plenty of room to cut prices on rollers if they want.
I don't keep an eye on commodity prices (OK, maybe pig futures ) or shipping prices, but while the Kirkhams keep their roller price the same at $57,000, Shelby, who buys their aluminum bodies from Kirkham, continues to increase their roller prices. I think they're up around $120,000 now.
