Dear Mr. icyroad41, Just transfer the ROM file in your SD card, and any patches if required. And do the following:-

1.Factory reset in cwm
2.wipe cache partition
3.wipe dalvik cache
4.Format /system (in mounts and storage)
5.Format /cache
6.Format /Data
7.Install Custom_ROM.zip (Where Custom_ROM is the name of your Custom Rom.. lol)
8.Install patch for your phone model
9.Reboot now and you are done !

After flashing let the phone settle down for 1 hour at least before starts to play with it
