You're "throwing the book at her" lol. Can't wait to see the end result. I'd never do what you're doing but I also said I'd never do what I ended up doing to mine. I told myself I was building my post-retirement daily driver and it'd be cool and reliable (LIAR!) Oh it's cool and it's reliable but it's waay overbuilt to be a daily. But I admit I love fender-fondling her! Enjoy yours - we will from afar.
