Re: Project Cheap Thrills!

I checked online and every one of the ready made kits were almost $100 after shipping. Two 2" square tubing sections were $5 a piece and the u-bolts were $27 shipped. One thing I like about the blocks is that they are steel and not aluminum. As far as fab was concerned, the shop I bought the tubing from cut them to length for me and one of the guys at the shop has a drill press at home so he drilled the holes. I'll reuse the blocks and drill the correct holes on the opposite sides. There is not enough material cut out of the wrong holes to worry about integrity. I'll just consider them speed holes!!!
