Neither, he would source the parts and build the axle as I imagine it and it would be shipped here. Meanwhile a stateside fabricator would be retained to handle stage two creating the suspension and doing the work on the X once the axle arrives. I figure I'll have the housing shaved bare and have new leaf perches added to it (or coil buckets and locating arm brackets if that is the route I choose) by the stateside fabricator. That's too much to coordinate w/ the overseas guy, his concerns are the axle width (pretty much fixed by the donor axle in the first place), pumpkin offset (somewhat flexible), and caster/pinion-angle (the most crucial part of his work).
