Last shield I F'ed up,... Looks cool:)
Here the newest one. I was working on it yesterday. Thinking about going with a new design this time.
Heres the first two I messed up. They are all mangled because I was trying some stuff out with them. I want the bedns to have a larger radius. Makes the shiled look less boxy.
Heres the new design. Its not super accurate but its to the point. Compare it to the pic of the newest shield. Let me know what you think. You think I should add and remove anything? Let me know what you think.
I'm going to eat before I get started so you guyz have a half and hour to leave your opinions before I get started. So hurry up!
God,... all your comments are great! I swear you guyz have me smiling from ear to ear!!!
What you guyz think of this? I like it but,... I dont know. I think I had something else in mind. I am going to just keep drawing and see what comes up. I might even move the holes around too. Let me know what you think?
In my opinion, the holes don't really fit the shield... maybe if you cut out what was between the holes so you got something like a rounded rectangle? Like this, for example: http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/Page_win32...ges/Ch0717.gif
Don't mind the measurments on it, just look at the shape.
Got it! I love it! I know I said I loved the others but this one is it! Tell me what you think!
looks good, and made from polished aluminium it will look sweet. Just knock on wood you don't get 99% done and then one of the then pieces crack, because that would be evil.
The radius of the bends are larger this time so I shouldnt have any problems. I think I might just hammer the bends through all the way this time.Quote:

I just got done cutting out the designing using the scroll saw. It has not yet been filed down. Im goign to do that another day because I have to get some sleep. I love this blue tape Im using. It's painters tape. You guyz know that. Well,... after having it clamped down, soaked in oil, drilled, soaked in some more oil, ran through the scroll saw for about 45 mintues,... it's still on! The true test was when I went to wash off all the oil and stuff in the sink with soapy hot water,... still on! Great stuff.
Instead of filing away the end of my day,... I set up a preview for you guyz,...
I used an already made sheet of frosted UV green acrylic. The piece im using is for one of the 5.25" bay covers.
What it would look like in aluminum, unpolished.
Maybe tomorrow I will start filing and bending. Notice there are no tabs to mount it. I am goign to make separate tabs that will bolt to it. Will look much much cleaner from the front. Also,.. the 3 holes inbetween the large holes are for mounting the tabs for the side now:( Forgot to plan for the tabs. Oh well. plus I have a cool idea of keeping the hose inside the holes when its all done.
Looks good, especially with that green UV behind it!
