The stand took me about 20 hours to build plus $400.00 to powder coat, coolant tank, coolant pump, hardware, drains to coolant tank, instalation time for all above etc. etc. The time it took me to build this was time I could have been earning shop rate. A big no it was not worth building it, if I were to do it again I would order the deluxe stand that comes with coolant pump etc. I thought with the dollar exchange, shipping, GST, brokerage fees that I would be paying away too much but I guess not.
