thanks guys!

and its true F&S, my 26 pc kit averages out to about 22 bucks each piece. even if you value your time at $10 a hour, , you would almost have 300 bucks in labor, plus cutting/grinding/drilling materials... and with the price of steel these days... a 4x4 pc of steel (roughly what it takes for all the parts) at the local piece price steel place (sold at 20% over scrap) is almost $400. you cant match the quality of laser cut parts either. ask yourself, what is your time worth?
