I had a couple of these roller ball's and today I was able to get the section done up to turn it into a fountain pen.

Much better! Where did the original components come from, if you don't mind telling?

The nib and feed were from a Kaweco Sport fountain pen I picked up for $5 because the body was cracked on it.

wowza. you are a true artist! the threads, the sections... wow man. what is the material for the section? Beautiful work no doubt. Now i am gonna have to go dig through your old posts to look at your other work. I am so motivated now it's unreal. I really need to learn how to cut threads and make sections.
