Thanks for the tips. I may try the HAMB as well. I would like to sell all in one lot, but shipping would be costly. I cleaned up the 69 kit and it came out nice.

Here is what I have. The 1969 kit is complete, the others are missing some components. Just starting cleaning up and will have that done in the next few weeks. Is flea bay the best venue to sell these?

After many years of saving dollars and the last six months trying to find a contractor, I am finally seeing my building take shape. It is 50x32 with 12 foot walls and scissor style truss. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app

I just purchased a four post from Advantage, based on all the positive feedback.

So I guess it really depends on where you are in life. I recently retired at 67 year old. I had been saving for a shop/man cave for years. I too has significant sticker shock, but finally resigned myself to the fact that at my age I had better get it done and enjoy it versus saying 'I wish I...
