just curious, in the first set of pics there is a bathroom scale. is that to measure how much lighter your going to be when you relieve your pocket book of some cash to buy parts? haha. we've all been there. i never thought of the scale idea before though.
did you start a build thread yet? it would be good to place a link here when you do.
have fun, keep a good outlook on the build, get a plan and stick to it. cheaper that way (trust me).
