I made my own...Not done yet, need the round stock for the pivot point and need to cut/drill the attachment arms....Got about $200 in it so far... 3x3 1/4" main frame. Heavy stuff, pain to cut on the chop saw. I really need a band saw...Thanks to Nick at prime customs for his design in PDF. I made some modifications.

"Looks very strong and heavy duty."

I'll say. Most of mine is 1-1/2" square, 1/16" wall. It's very sturdy.
I "overbuild" on a regular basis....I haven't run any numbers on the design, but I bet she would hold 8k easy.

Usually I build 2 when I build something like this. Sell one, make enough to pay for the other kinda thing. Unfortunately, they only had 1 stick of the 3x3...I'll probably sell this one when I'm done. I am sure I will figure out some way to improve on the design...

That looks very good and will sure make working on the body a lot easier. I borrowed one when i did mine, and it didn`t look anywhere near that nice.:D
