    So I'm going back to the acrylic idea. 1/4" is more than thick enough to handle the weight of the rads. + I will have rad grills made to give it some more strength.

    Here are some more pictures.

    The new feet. I'm 100% sure these will keep it sanding.


    And the cutouts for the rads.


    I got replies for the aluminum and just having the main pieces cut will cost over $140 so alu is out.

    I just sent some emails to plexi companies to get work done. Hopefully I'll have a reply tomorrow.

    Cheers till then.

    So Delvie's Plastics Inc will cost me roughly $30 in materials and the do NOT have the capability to cut the main piece. I'm still waiting for a reply from Estreetplastics to see what they can do. Worst come to worst I do all the cuts myself.

    You might have to, judging from the pics. Either way, that's not a bad price and the cutting wouldn't be too difficult if you took your time.

    I'm gonna order a template from MNPCTECH. They have a nice laser cut reusable template.

    Need to get some 3.120 rad grills made now.

    I like the MNPCTECH ones. I was thinking something like that but the middle fan grill will say "fugatech-mods" maybe.

    PDF of grill designs available for you, Fuganater.

    Fugatech 3x120mm Radiator Grilles- Test.pdf (Mediafire)

    They're printed full scale to a 24"x36" sheet, 6 different designs. You can zoom in on them and print just what's displaying at 100% scale and see exactly what they'll be like when done. Only spent the time to trim up one of them, but you get the idea.

    Edit: Pic on the next page.
