    The first aluminium 'ring' that will be placed over the box is ready. I'll need 4 of these aluminium parts to mount the shocks. The shocks will be mounted between two of these rings.



    the front view.



    and from a slight angle



    It took me about 4 hours to produce this ring, so that means I have about 12 hours of work for the other 3 rings.

    I'm very happy with all my sponsors. Building AlumaxX really paid off. I wouldn't be able to start a new project this soon after AlumaxX without these sponsors. They give me all the artistic freedom I could wish.

    Wow, thats great you have sponsers! I'm going to be watching your build. I've have been driving RC trucks for years and have a lot of experience with rc shocks. Just trying to look to the future. If there are 4 shocks that come down from the sides of the box straight out, what is going to give it lateral stability? Just curious.

    Thought of that. I have two solutions in mind. I'll just have to see what looks best before I choose.

    Just a small update. The second aluminium ring is ready. I expect to finish the last two rings this weekend so I can start working on the details of the box. The shocks will be mounted between two aluminium rings, that's what the bumbs on the side of the rings are for.

    Thanks.

    All the rings are ready, I only will have to clean them, sand the edges and driil the holes to mount the schocks. The shocks will be mounted like this.



    It is time to add some details to the box.

    Are those x-mods struts? Like from Radioshack?

    I have an x-mods car... but I'dve never thought of using the struts for a computer mod.
