I cut the two blowholes for the cuffs on the front.
And here's kinda what it'll look like later.
How should I fill in the area around the holes?

Just so you see what's next...
What should I do to fill this up?
Here's some more pics of the inside......The I/O is part of the frame so I guess I'll have to cut it out.
I guess this was for the HD or something?
That had to go.
The old motherboard was set in with built in standoffs. Obviously they never in a million years thought that it would be getting modded so I'll have to drill the new standoff holes myself.
I checked my supplies because I thought I had gray paint. Turns out I just had a lot of SILVER. I'm going shopping tomorrow!
I cut the blow holes all the way through.
Then I used expanding foam for the front and back. After I shave it evenly, I'll cover up the top of it with either bondo or some type of fiberglass. We'll see.
I'm gonna try bondo over the foam because it turned out pretty crappy. Luckily I have tons of bondo.
The Bondo Begins!!
Just thinking of the future.....
I needed to clean the case so I let the rain do it for me.
Haha, love the cuffs man! Nice touch.
Next I have some small touch up to do. I have gloves on to keep that bondo smell off me.
I also took the time to remove the old Netserver logos
Here is where I'm at now. I still have a little more spot bondo'ing to do.
I added a light coat of primer to the face to bring out the all the areas I still need to touch up with Bondo.
I was thinking of adding a badge like this (maybe):
To here:
After the holes were fixed I re-primed it.
And the inside
After 2 coats of primer I began the 1st coat of black.
I usually do 4 coats of color and at least 3 coats of clear after that.
