Here are some production pics I took last week showing the interior of the "shell" and aluminum framing. Can't resist polishing the metal so there will be a combination of painted and polished metals on the frame--even though you wont see much of it from the outside, its the small details that scream "custom"

The Antec Neo PSU was a perfect fit. Having a paper model of the PSU was a great help in construction.

The canopy and control surfaces are in the works, and once these are finished and wired up, the interior of the shell will be reinforced with resin and fiberglass, then the rig will be painted and assembled. This entire shell breaks down into smaller parts, and can be 100% disassembled if needed. When creating a complex project like this, you really need to make everything accessable--and avoid building yourself into a corner by creating hardware/component roadblocks that prevent the rig from being altered or repaired easily in the future.

I really like the angles of this shell. Fitting all the components inside was a challenge!~

Great job so far. Does the project have a deadline for it to be done or will it be done when it's done?

Sweet bar stool btw
