I am sure you will progress well now you have started.  :)

it's coming apart nicely so far, but the countershaft bearing holder screws are seriously tight.  i have an impact driver but i wonder if that's advisable...    any suggestions?

I have drilled the heads off with a sharp 6mm drill on very low speed, has worked every time for me. Then just wind the remaining threaded part out with pliers or mole grips, it is always the head that causes the problem, and that sorts it.

that would be a better option. i'm a little reluctant to use the impact driver around so much alloy

That was my thinking first time I ever did one, the countersunk heads make it grip over a relatively large surface area, that's why they are so tight, once the head is drilled off I have never found the threads themselves to be tight / stiff, can usually be unscrewed with your fingers.
