Well you couldn't tell that any mistakes were made by the results of the end product! Looks fantastic.

lol believe me I have learned A LOT that way. And I do show the ones that I think others could learn from as well. It's just sometimes, things are better left on the garage floor lol.

HAHA, yeah I know what you mean, you should see my first window mod hahaha.

Was able to mock up the tubing in the lower rad section last night. Still was pretty tight (due to the thicker floor) so I had to get some 90° and 45° elbows to make it work.
Came out ok I think. I love the blue fittings on the white tubing!

but the $1000,000 question is does the floor leak

haha, I haven't actually gotten to the leak-testing phase yet, cause I still haven't glued the floor together. I did a glue-test last weekend, but apparently didn't use enough Weld-on so I got a bunch of air pockets. That stuff evaporates fast, and if I don't get the pieces together quick enough, it dries up. (doesn't help the weather up here has been upper 90's & no humidity).

Yep, blue fittings looks sweet mate. I am re plumbing LEXA ATM and am trying to make do with the left over hose I have from the first time, I think I am like 1 inch too short in total .

I just got done prepping stuff for tomorrow's painting session. Sorry I didn't take any pics of the boring sanding,
cleaning, and priming of parts, but I didn't think you'd mind too much.

Here's a couple shots of all the parts:

If you remember my paint scheme, it will be blue with water droplets on the outside of the case, monitor, and keyboard,
and pearl white on the inside, but only in the main top section. It will be blue in the lower rad compartment.
As you can see, I already laid down the white inside the case shell and mesh boxes, mainly because of the mesh.
If I waited til after we painted the exterior, then all the holes will be white, and I don't want that. After I took the
pics I taped all the white mesh areas so that I wouldn't get any blue overspray on the inside.

So basically we're laying down the blue base coat and clear this weekend. Then we have to let that cure before going
back over and doing the water droplets. If you're wondering why we're shooting clear before the water droplets,
it's because we are using water-based paint, and the base needs to be sealed before we do the next layer. Then
after that we'll do a final coat of clear, maybe with a hint of candy or pearlescence. We'll see!
