Webwheeler here, name is Art... I've been building this pile for about 2 years now. It has no deadline, so I have just been buying parts as I can afford them. I am 23, finishing up college, and this thing is what all my spare time and spare change gets used on. It's my first non-bolt on type of build, and one hell of a learning experience! All work was done by me, in this little 2 car garage.
