Wow!! thanks to all of you that responded with such great advice and stories. I don't remember a time that I have been more excited to work on a project! I am going to go with the stock approach for now and get this baby on the road ASAP. I will post a link to some pictures as they come about. I look forward to asking more questions and sharing my adventure with you all.
Happy holidays to you and your families
