Things come up and things still change, but it is minimized by having a good plan.
thanks gents, appreciate the advice. I guess it would help to sit down and formulate a solid build direction, I suppose all I've really been doing is assessing the condition of the parts I have, gathering the the stuff I know I'll need while trying to address my limited storage situation.

putting pen to paper, will report back
