    DG Machine is in Auburn, You might give Dale a buzz and he could figure out a good guy to take it to for assembly. He might do the machine work for you, you would have to check with him and see. Have used Dale in the past and he is one of the best in the bizz up there. If he can't do it right now, he will send you to one of his top dogs on that.
