Front panel and hinges:


Here are the finial hinges that I got so many moons ago. There was a short section way back when that played with the idea of making my own hinges, and I did just that. The problem was how bulky and awkward they were, clearly not ideal for the ambiance that I was trying to create.

These are much more Gothic (Gaudi gothic, not emo-gothic):

note: The Sagrada Familia is AMAZING!





They needed a felt pad on the sides that meet with the acrylic panel:





Mounting and test-fitment:









Ensuring that there is the proper clearance for everything that I forgot or did not think about:







A test-fit with one of the 480 radiators:

note: The front panel is black acrylic like the sides, but the panel that holds the radiator and mounts to the front panel is bronze acrylic. It is my hope that this will provide a "windowed-frame" around the radiators that will give the observer a small glimpse of what lies behind, and allow some of the vermilion light to shine through.... *hopes*







So far all the parts are lining up fairly well. There is a slight off-square element somewhere, but I have not delved into it to find where it is, or if I can remedy it.... that's for another day.
