dont be a sissy.
buy a hinson cradle, reinforce it when you get it if it looks shatty, and get on with your conversion.
if all of hinsons stuff was junk there would be hundreds of bad posts about him but hey what do you know, there are only a few.
or you could buy one, copy it, send his back and be done with it.

I am glad you are intrested, but let me be the first to tell you custom Chromoly tube anything is not going to be cheaper then the Hinson square mild steel tubing he uses. The only thing you will save on is shipping, only one way!
