I especially want to show and discuss all the pitfalls and problems involved, including my own screw ups. I'm not too proud to admit that sometimes I'm not half as smart as I think I am. Showing (or at least admitting to) the failures is almost more important than the successes for learning. I see far too many people with their egos on the line in these things and will only show you what went right, or disappear all together when shit doesn't work. The bad part is that it leaves somebody reading it later with the impression that the project/mod was a success and they try it themselves.

edit: I used the opinion picture on EJ the other day. I have to keep an eye out and collect these little tid bits so I can defend myself 'round this place.

+1 on this. It helps to see the good, bad, and the ugly on projects like this.
I always thought this would be a neat swap but after seeing the amount of
fabbing needed I certainly wouldn't try it. Thanks Gunny for sharing.
