Don,
I took yesterday off and am back to my patient, serene, life loving self - I'm going to a camera swap meet this morning then back to my project. As far as tools, my favorites are my grinder and welder - so I can grind it to size then weld it back together the way ol' Hank Ford originally designed it.

I'm happy to see that you are getting yours together, finally - Is another research paper going to prevent finishing this winter?
