Looks good to me. I'm piecing together a 6.5'' kit. I made a post in my thread and had some good responses. On the second page on, the more recent, helpful info is posted.

But that looks good.

How much is your kit going to cost you? I deciding whether it would be cheaper to build my own kit or just buy one.
