Thanks a lot guys! :D
I'm hoping to get the LCD mounted onto the panel tonight or tomorrow. Then I can place it into the case for a fit check, make any necessary adjustments, and get it finished up by this weekend! More pics to follow. :)

Here's a quicky update:
Work continues on the LCD panel. Placed it on the case with the side panel for positioning.
Testing for clearance...
After that I decided to get the smaller lettering glued on.
A closeup shot (don't mind the mess, the letters will be painted):
Here's a shot with the protective sheet peeled off. I screwed up by spilling CA glue all over the front of the panel.
Now I got some polishing to do!
A couple shots with the ccfl's behind it. Looks like the opaque black acrylic isn't as opaque as I thought. Will have to
cover the back of it with something to keep the red from showing through.

Hey hey, an update, i just love this mod, its been a long time since last update but as always, its worth the wait ;)
Go Bod go. I am in envy of your talent mate. It's looking bloody fantastic.
Really great work here. I love the imagination. Looking forward to seeing it through.
:eek: wow man, your worklog's just amazing!!! nice job everywhere on that case, I just can't wait to see it finished :D
Another quicky update:
Got the foil tape from my friendly neighborhood Pep Boys. Only $3.49 for a 2" x 10' roll. :)
Applied it to the back side of the panel and cut away the area around the lettering holes.
Here's a shot from the front with the tape applied. No more red showing through! I also hooked up
the LCD screen to make sure it worked, and threw on the landing bay for grins and giggles. :wink:
That's it for now. Will have another update for ya Sunday night. Til then! :D

Thanks TD! Your Deuce project is coming along quite nicely as well. Being a hot-rodder as well I can really appreciate the work you are doing, especially the paint work and flames. Can't wait to see it all finished up! :D
