ok i have been asked by a few people how much would it cost for me to build these for them. i dont have a problem with that i like doing it. but just to let everyone know i got the tubing free from work. it was left over from a few jobs we did. if i buy it its 20.00 a ft for the tubing 20ft needed. i bought the latches for 15.00 from orr and orr.com 2 are needed and 10.oo for the flat bar. so before taxes it would of been 440.00 just for materials but i have found a site that sells prebent tube doors you just have to weld them together and supply your own hinges and latches and there only 75.00 plus shipping. here is the link http://www.jeeptubes.com/shop

Slick. Nice work. Any guff from the owners of the white houses? Overspray on the breeze can make for angry home owners...
