no problem, like i said, were in the same boat lol. Also, wouldnt let others worry you about a build. Its just like building anything else say an ar15. Ive never done ANY builds before this first attempt, so if i can do it so can you.

I would suggest getting a 12 or 20 ton press from harbor Freight, its like 200 or less for them.

Sometimes there are 15-25% off coupons off a single item floating around for Harbor Freight.  If you combine that with their random sales, you can usually get a really great deal.  IIRC, I ended up paying ~$100 for my 12 ton press and ~$120 for the 240V spot welder, $15 for an angle grinder, and like 5 bucks for the 18" bolt cutters that I modded into a rivet squeezer.  If you plan on building from a flat these tools are a must.

The HF store I go to also honors prices off their website.
