So, on the OliveR-Sumpin' 510 retrofit thing.
I been thinking about it, and I sought some tooling advice from Corey. I'm at the point where it seems possible. I would need to
buy some tools and I would then take the imaginative to the real with good ol' #0001. This would help me to find any shortcomings in my thinking, and make sure all those little un-thought-of deets come into alignment w/ no surprises.
However, my initial source of inspiration and I were talking it
through, and he's decided that a simple internals rebuild on the existing 510 is what's appropriate.
So . .. . there it shall hang. Mostly, I just wanted to say, "probably not impossible", probably quite doable. It's not something I need for the vigor of my soul; so it's not like I'm actively looking for volunteers. But . .. . there it is for you then.
Also, I think we're lookin' at some "first coat of finish" pics tomorrow .. . if all goes well between now and then. (not early . .. later in the day).
