    I defiantly agree with the fact that the money you're spending isn't for it to be welded, it's one thing to get everything welded but another animal to get everything designed and cut and working seamlessly, I'm just trying to see if anyone has a proven design that I don't have to pay a bunch for and can weld on my own and I'd rather support some guy in a garage trying to start up a shop than a big name brand already established, but I'm most likely gonna get a kit off Craigslist and deal with any other issues with a used kit down the road

    I believe there is a kit on CL over in Arizona as we speak. Looks like a good deal for used.

    His has boxed uppers. Didn't you include some straight tubing for them? That's why his is $500 more.

    I would say just save up the money and go buy a Camburg kit since they're local to you, bolt it up and run it.

    not to mention shops don't want you copying their design and selling it....I wouldn't even sell someone my kits without them being all welded up. a ton of time goes into the design and intellectual property alone

    It makes one wonder what you would sell one of your pre-built kits for?
