Guys-
Starting my build thread. This is my first, so I'm going to try and put a lot of basic info in here to help other Noobs like myself.
Plan is to do a straight up Graflex ANH build. No crazy fancy crystals or high end fancy pants sound boards. That stuff is wicked cool, but I don't have the time or $$ for that.
Here's my Graflex 2 cell. First order of business will be disassembly and fabrication of a 3 cell bottom end. If you've looked on ebay, a clean 3 cell Graflex will easily go for $200, I got this little beauty for half that.

It looks like these are stainless steel. The OD on the body is 1.5", ID on the pipe is 1.370". So I've got some 1.5" stainless steel pipe coming that I'm going to cut to length and have capped by a local welding shop. If all goes well I'll have a few spare 3 cell ends.
My research tells me the 3 cell end needs to be 4.6" long. (t-track grip is 3.6" plus 1" to go inside the clamp)
Here's a shot of the graflex disassembled. You can see the channels I'll need to cut in the open end of the bottom portion so that it fits in the clamp.

I've got LEDs, blade holder and other parts coming from CSS. Will post info on those when they arrived. Hope to have them over the weekend then you other Noobs can learn basic LED wiring right along with me!
