I think just about all the info you could need is in there.
I have hundreds of pictures in there as well, and a startup video.

I wont lie to anyone. It not that hard. Its timne consuming. Having the Skill and equipment is the biggest factor for a quality looking setup. I tend to spend my time doing more custome stuff at the shop for repeat customers than mass producing anything.
If you have the time and know how jump in there and get to it. If you need help along the way just ask. I would be glad to help.

i'm doing mine too, i think the hardest thiing is finding ways to jam all that **** under the hood, moving this, trimming that. making it look pretty. that's what taking me so long
