    Default deans pc343 cubex

    ok guys well here is the start a mod im doing for dean0

    here are the plans:

    Modding: window in both side panels
    radiator grill fitting in roof for 2 black ice rads
    frame powdercoating black
    panels anodised green

    cooling: dean is fitting himself

    so here we go,

    case dismantaled...




    side panels marked out ready for cutting for the windows




    i didnt have one of the rads that he is using (black ice) with me so i just had to make do with a polystyrene model


    then the roof panel all marked up for cutting


    also 5 fan modules arrived today for this mod but i didnt get any pics of them

    thats all for today will be starting on the rad cutouts hopefully tomorrow and will be doing the windows when the acrylic gets here.

    i know i know its been ages and not much has happened but i have been busy with other stuff! but here are some pics of the work



    dont worry thats only masking tape stuck to it not scratches! lol




    i havent got pics of the radgrills mounted yet but they are mounted...

    now all that needs to be done is powdercoating and anodising...

    and closeups



    and then the anodising...

    thanks guys

    @ dont fear it took us a while because of various money problems etc but if there was no problems it took me a fewdays to mod then about a week for the powder and anodising to get fully done from delivery to delivery. so not long at all.

    Yeah the anodizing and powder coating would have taken the longest.

    Did you have it powdercoated, and anodized or did you do it yourself?
    That color green looks really nice. Shouldn't have any problems with
    the panels scratching the chassis with the powdercoat. +Rep

    powdercoating is actually a fairly quick process...not sure about anodizing, but the problem that I ran into is not having cleaned the metal well enough. Any oils from your skin (fingerprints) can show right through the powdercoat. Your's looks fantastic bro...I agree with Eclecticos, that green is awesome!
