:D

But I believe, if it is your first rebuild, I you want to stick with the basics and fully understand it's principles.

Then, think in adding a small theoretical improvement. Lots of research before approval of this particular improvement.

After that, a new small improvement and so on.
At some point you will realize "OK, it's enough for me".

Maybe, it's time to start the project.

It is very sad to see a lot of efforts on an ambitious rebuild and after some time the result is a big hole in the case...

X2 on the BugMe Video. I watched it, watched it again and took notes, then watched it while I did the rebuild. Watch the step, pause the video, do the step.

Where in Nebraska are you located? I might be close (though it's not likely). 8)
