Hopefully this helps a few people.
Adam, unfortunately my cad is not working could you add a picture or rendering of what y'all have come up with? Also... I see Hodgepodge and Viper, what are those? Again my Solidworks isn't working so I can not see these models.

P.S. I didn't mean to put that purple smiley next to the post... and I don't know how to take it off.
