I hate leaving things unfinished and thought I'd post an update,
I had a big move at the end of 2010, both business and home, and the "hots" died an untimely death when my motorcycle tipped over in the truck.... Crushed beyond repair.
I still have the plans and maybe one day I'll try again.
Thanks again to all for the suggestions and helpful advice, it has come in handy on other builds.
Have fun flyin'
