Update...not so bright...

Hey Jeff, I live close to ya and would be happy to come by and give you some advice/help. I have done a similar rebuild. It was fun, a lot of work but I am sure you can do it and more than likely your workmanship the first time you try it will be 3 times better than the sloppy factory work. Also I may be able to help with materals.
