I doubt the hoped for sales market will give much thought to instructions. If I miss my mark on sales strategies and business planning I feel this is going to be a lot of cash and carry.......

I am going to have a Business website made in the next week or so, and pay for it to be on Google...so when people search "LS/LT motor mounts/TJ motor mounts swap,etc it will come up.
I'm all open to any more suggestions but this was my thought along with the many places it's for sale already.

Full blown in house manufacture to full fledged point of sale. Get your sales and use stuff sorted. Inventory capability and sales tax exempt and collection in order. You'll need to determine how your going to account it. Your not simply offering a service......and if you didn't know repair, upfitting, and maintenance of tangible goods requires you to collect sales tax.

If you take any pics from online, be sure that either they have specifically been designated as in the public doamin / OK to use for profit, or you are changing them substantially. Otherwise you're opening yourslef to a big lawsuit.

Serious question - the little tabs that are between the horse's legs - will those hold up over time? Or will they tend to get all bend up from stuff getting stirred around when its really hot, or tend to rust away?
I've never had a pit that was this heavy style, all I know is the cheap ass one I have is all kinds of bent and mangled after about 4 years.
 
where the heck are you getting all this steel?

steel prices are crazy right now
 
The pits are awesome. I want to give a small piece of advice. Not criticism. The figures and shapes look great but as a functional firepit and one campgrounds and your personal yard will appreciate try to avoid large openings. The look and fire will highlight thinner openings from a distance better also. The larger openings drop hot coals and release so much light the image is lost in glare.

This small change to a more out lined figure instead of whole cut out will also allow detail to last longer and retain a sturdier yet lasting presentation of the detail. This will add lasting value to your customers.

they're 14g so not as flimsy as they look. they're not "really" needed but more or less allow for 0 wobble of it once set on ground.

I figured that was the case. I might consider putting some expanded metal or similar on the inside, to keep the fire in the pit.
 
Got a Toyota flatbed build starting next week, gonna be a cool project!
