Project: "The Intimidator"

[Dukenuke001]

Hey guys. Im a nascar fan, and anyone who likes nascar knows "The Intimidator," Dale Earnhardt. I was a huge fan of his until he passed away in 2001. I'd love to make a memorial type computer, but I need ideas. The case would be black obviously, with the Goodwrench logos and the 3. I want something that shows "1951-2001" to show his life. And also, I thought about making the top be a small racetrack modeled off of Daytona or Talledaga. Problem is I have no money to spend on anything and I have no modding tools. But how do you guys like the idea and give any suggestions if you can. I also thought of taking A LOT of bondo and turning the case on its side making a racecar out of the case (use the bondo to mold it and form a bumper, window with plexiglass, roof with bondo, etc). Like I said this is just an idea and I can't do anything with it until I get money, but I'd love to start planning sketches with some comments/suggestions. Thanks,

Duke

you could also make the top of the case look like the car. add the "cockpit" to the top and add a small wing / spoiler at the back. Then make an window in the shape of the 3 or something and try to get a heat sinkt / fan that looks like a wheel... you could probably make the front of the case look like the front of the car...

I'm just throwing some ideas around...
hope it helps you ;)

on the real modding side of the story, you should probably wait until a more experienced modder comes along and tells you how to do it. I have only modded my case slightly (paint, window, lights)

Ya man those are some great ideas. Maybe I could take more bondo and make the room of the car with it then make the window there like the windshield.

there was a car made called the intimidator after him. maybe you could use it as a general idea
