Hey All,   Still a bit of time on my AP armor, but I figure I'd start up a thread as my stuff comes in.   I'm a total noob at this stuff, and not particularly handy with tools, so this will all be a huge learning experience for me.  I'm going to post as much of the process as I can so maybe others can learn from my inevitable mistakes and get some info along the way   -----   Now that my build is mostly done, I've decided to try and detail everything here in the OP for quick navigation, as well
