Jim,


I was just hoping you'd taken some pictures as you were building that you
could share, as well as some tips about how you went about assembling it
all (did you through-bolt or rivet the u-joints?) that would help someone
else, as well as what size you used that would make it significantly easier
for someone following your advice to benefit from your experience.  That
sort of how-to would make a great Wiki entry or Central States article for
folks to use as a guide.
