The Intelligence - Day 24

so I sanded for a couple hours, thats the various grits I was using (boring)

after that I was up for some electrical work

at one point I was going to cut the wire down, but the cautious side of me took over

my humble electrical kit

the extension plug clamped down for wire pulling under heat

cleared of debris

started to shrink and sleeve in red

ready for connecting to the plug

wrapped

ugly soldering, consider it a functional mod

ready to hide the ugliness

shrinked each line

sild up the wider shrink and heat gunned it too



continuity tested each of the three lines, all ok

test fit...





bendy...
(notice the piece of electrical tape, the sleeve started to unwind and fray from the shrink. I may redo this piece entirely in shrink, but we'll see, for now I left it alone

I think it looks cool tho

needed to trim off the lower mobo pan lip since I am not using the holes for mounting, and it creates a bad gap behind the case

sliced!

rough cuts



test fit...



some filing and sanding

needed to fill some pinholes

I am starting to hate this stuff, but I love it at the same time

5 mins later, alien abortion
(forgot to pic the case part that I refilled, sorry)

did some more spot priming on the parts I spent two hours sanding at the top of this log. i think I am nearly there









Well thats all for now folks, hope you enjoyed
more tomr. thanks for watching


I also epicly ruined the hinges by spraying clear on them (was 24 hours wait tho), so they will need an acetone bath and a scrub down, and then a repainting - I am actually happy about it
