Thanks Josh.
I have some 'tech help' in the wings - one buddy is sending me specialty tools to do the job, the other is a master tech and knows these things inside and out, and he's offered me special help (online/on phone) as needed....plus I have some online stuff he already posted and someone else is sending me a DVD.....so I think other than taking the PLUNGE and of course making a mess everywhere....lol....I should be set. I appreciate the help from everyone....
You all rock....
