Agree with dave here. No offense but you sound EXTREMELY optimistic.... So your looking at $3500 for a shell? and your going to want a clean shell... No overhead for random parts you might need?

thinking the install will go as planned is the biggest mistake you can make

We all know that never happens...

Well then $3500 extra should be plenty for extra parts. Best of luck!
