piCruiser,
A bunch of us in and around ATL get together every few weeks and have a beer, or wrench, or wheel...you are welcome to join us. Most of us have begun the modifications already so you can see in person what some things look like. We'd be happy to see you. Check out the SE regional forum for our outings...
