Lance at Swampland in Houma is a great guy and would be able to get you going. |
After spending time with lance and at FTU in Houston, I couldn't see myself ordering all the components online - that's too much of a guessing game before knowing exactly where the components will line up on the blank, and which blank you are using along with OD dims at those points along the blank.
A fit up on site by an experienced builder is priceless for a beginner...
