I found my donor through ebay from a guy from CA. I contacted him directly and dealt off of ebay. It was my first swap. I took alot of measurements and dropped a plumb bob from the corners to help with alignment. I did mine in sections and made up some braces to hold the old in place while I grafted on the new.
