I have decided to build it from scratch and see how little I can spend.
Considered it after meeting with the Mueller folks, but my weak TIG skills were not going to hack it. It was interesting to see my builder lay the I-beams down and cut and weld them (pic1). Then that seemingly homemade lift raise them to the welding spot.(pic2)

Kind of winging it but it will be 100% weld up. No one seems to build this way anymore.
That's the way my guy did it ... including the 2-4-8-10 foot purlin wall horizontal studs(?). All welded together.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
