Yea this completely shattered my entire universe. I doubt I could find people to work with that would even THINK of tackling such a project. Really cool that it can be done. I bet there were alot of moments where you felt like pistol whipping a blind kid cause it was so frustrating.
If I could find a bad ass mechanic/welder and had the means to do this, I would do it in a heartbeat. But until that time......
