I made my first attempt at a proton pack at the age of 12, and I got a lot of help from some handly adults in my life. It turned out pretty good. If any of you Jokers have my old "pack reference" VHS tape, there is a segment at the end of me cavorting around in my first pack.
Either way, the point here is you gotta learn to LOVE the proton pack. Even if it turns out looking like a total piece of shit, its still a product of your own design, and no matter what any f**** says, it's an achievement. Not too many people go out of their way to piece together a prop from some "dumb movie from the 80's."
Anyway. This is a project that requires a small bit of devotion, and you need to realize that before you wish to obtain a good proton pack (a good proton pack by the standards of myself, and all the sticklers here)
If anyone has any more ideas or resources, slip me a pm and Ill update the list.
