congrats bro, you deserve it with the amount of hard work and dedication you put into this case day in and day out.
keep the mod-a-licous updates coming! :D
When you finish this project we'll do a nice big full feature. This mod is loved by all.
DAMN! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN! OMG I'M PISSED. The center shield is to long,... by, an inch! How did I miss that? OMG.

Here I am filing the very nice but very much to long center shield.
SCROLL SANDING! This is my own version of it. Im using metal sand paper. Its actually a type of cloth so its strong enough for the stretching.
I use two strips back to back.
Damn. This is after trying to sand one groove. The aluminum kinda scrapes the grit off. It might work better on acrylic. I'll try it later.
Center shield all done.
Left side all done. Blurry pic. Sorry. I also finished the two inner shields.
REady to bend the center shield.
Bent. This was a tricky piece to bend. I had to be super careful. I'll explain this in more detail when I remake this piece.
Came out pretty good! To bad its to long! I pretty much nailed the height,... it's just the length I failed to do right.
Damn. I'm sick to my stomach. All that work down teh drain. Its not like I can even attempt to use it. I could possibly cut off the back end but the hose holes will be covered by the 120mm fan:( I'll just make a new one. Should only set me back a day. In between working on making this again I'll continue on with the other pieces. So I keep you guyz moving forward. This thing is going to look bad ass though!!!
It's length now,...
What it's suppose to be. Thats pretty much 1". Cant believe this.
Argh!
Its suppose to be a 1/4" behind that line there.
Anyways,... I'm not going to the studio today. I have to spend time with my friend who is moving far away at the end of the month. But I will be at the studio tomorrow morning and I will be there all day into the next working on this. Sorry guyz:(
I have no idea man...Quote:

But fricking GREAT work!
I'm inspired... I'm going to start my mod today!
They are BOTH reflections:) Thanks for playing:)Quote:

Oh. Ma. God. I just got home from 16 hour run at the studio. I worked 16 hours straight! Non-stop. Cutting. Filing. Sanding, polishing, drilling,... holy s@#%. I'm a friggin machine!!! I've havent been home in a few days. I have been running back and forth between my friends place and the studio. I have never spent so much time in the studio before. Damn. I was in there a lot but at first I did a lot of sleeping. It was weird,... I could work like 4 - 5 hours but after that I had to sleep! I'd lay down for like a couple of hours then get up and work another 4 - 5 then I'd have to sleep again! Thats kind of funny because I only get in about 4 - 5 hours normally when I am working at the hospital. My body is following a trend. I think I broke it though. I sleep like 12 hours like two night ago,... then I headed to the studio and got there about 2pm yesterday. I worked all the way till like 6:30 this morning. Straight. Truly amazing. Anyways, LOOK WHAT I MADE!!!
Aug-06-2007
First,.. look what I got, yet another square. I wanted to see if this one was any better then the others. It is but it's still off. Whats the matter with these damn companies and there crap equipment!!!
Check this out! I got another small file set!!! This set is JUST what I needed!!! It's smaller then my big ones yet bigger than my smallest ones! They are thin enough to fit in freshly cut 1/8" grooves! This means I can file them down quicker! Thanks god. Filing with those tiny ones suck!
Ok,... here are the 3 new pieces I need. OH. Yea,... I need 3 new pieces not just one. The center piece was off by an inch and the two inner bracket shields were designed specifically for THAT center piece. So I need new ones of those too. Sucky.
WHaLAAAA!! All done! LOL. I didn't take pics of my remaking these pieces because you already seen these being made. Anyways,... I nailed it this time around. What happened the last time? I dont know. *Kicks myself*
I used heat this time to make this bend. It came out so much better. The new one has the exposed bend as in there's no tape. This two pieces are aligned with each other perfectly. Look how much longer in front this thing is. This from having a S@#$%^ bend.
Very long in the back. *Kicks myself again*
New one fits perfecly. Just as its suppose to.
It's going to look so yummy.
You guyz creamin your pants yet!!!!
Oh wow. I like.
Time for the acrylic! YEA!!!
Bent and bolted. Ready for the trimming of excess material.
Done.
So nice. Time to drill out the hose holes.
EEEK! 4am and still moving along!!! Hmmm,... I can see my friend stacey got to my phone. B@#$%. Thats my nephew by the way. He's cute.
While you were staring at my phone I went ahead and drilled out the hose holes. Try and keep up!! I used the lovely uni-bit to drill these. I love that bit. Anyways,... I cant drill all the way through because the uni-bit will only drill up to 1/8". So I have to take off the aluminum and drill the acrylic by itself now.
Like so,...
Nice. I even counter-sunk them using the same bit. You guyz gotta get one of these things.
While you were looking at my holes,... I sanded with an 80grit disc using the drill press.
This is 120grit by hand and then a foam sanding block by hand. All done.
Eye candy. Want some?
Time for the sides,... same routine.
Bang. Trimmed.
Etched,...
To Be Continued,...
