Thats about how many holes our engineers said it would take. We eventually had to give up structural pieces that in the beginning we said that there would be no way that we would take them out. Before all the drilling and hacking we were about 8 pounds overweight. And we still about 4 pounds over when we shipped it. Somehow, we got it under to be able to play.

You think you have to take something like that apart to put in on a drill press? Hah! Back on 7, one of our engineers (Hi Allen!) used a drill press as a hand drill. We didn't have a hand drill with a 1/2" chuck. I think there might be some photographic evidence somewhere but I'm not in possession of it.
