That owner is my spirit animal.
If only there were some clips of it running. Even just the obligatory rotary idle during the beauty shots...
Plastic fasteners because its lighter than Titanium.
I had that thought too.
Bought Ti for structural/clamping loads, Aluminum for non-structural, skipped the Nylon because I was only finding non-flanged head bolts and I didn't want to run washers plus the bolts.

I am hoping ninesixtwo will put up a build thread showing as much of what he did as he can. Hopefully he has pictures of the process.
