Yea im not exactly a electronics engineer or anything but i was giving it a shot. Im going to go and buy all new parts and re-do this properly. I will post my updates as i go. Thank you for your input! And I really Appreciate your help! I look forward to your pic's as well

Ok so heres my Pictures... Lemme know if you see anything wrong. Thanks!!
