Man, this is turning out to be a great mod! Also, that index on the front page has to be one of the best ideas anyone has ever thought of! The mod is sooo close to being doing its annoying! Once again, NICE!!

CattleRustler

thanks for the kind words of encouragement mate - I find that very comforting at the moment (personal issues going on). Maybe when I am done I will explore the possibility you metioned

Thanks man I have to confess the index isnt my idea, I have seen other people before me do it, and i thought it was a good idea. I link to each update's numeric post, which just presents the reader with the log update post, not inside of the thread where the other comments are etc. I just thought it was a good way to do it, so people who may come along well after the thread has been running, dont need to wade through all the comments if they just want to catch up to the current time. Of course the option is there to just go through the thread pages normally where they would see the full context of the thread. Both ways are fun I ocassionally go back thru the threads and read the comments again for a good laugh

This mod is fantastic! absolutely amazing!

One suggestion I want to add that might help you coming up on your priming stage. There is a product that is called Kombi Putty made by Sikkens. I use it here at my body shop and the way it works it's a spot filler that has a built in hardner. it's extemely useful for spot filling anything. It will save you time from having to mix bondo again. just a little food for thought.

Great work!

The Intelligence - Day 32

supplies: Rustoleum Universal Black Gloss, low tack purple tape, some more blue tape for the shop, and a few sheets of 400 grit WOD

test piece, the cut out from the switch panel from a Day update too early on to remember

primed 3 coats, then I painted three coats and set it aside to dry (forgot to pic the test paint)

sanded the fuzzies for like an hour or more

began taping off the case trim with low tack, didnt wanna pull the prime off the trim, which seemed easy to do

all taped up

1 coat black. lemee tell ya, this paint is high build for sure. had some problems with the spraying action, almost like it has trouble getting started, but once it starts it goes pretty good

3 coats

this paint is pretty good for coverage, and the any-angle thing cant be beat. as far as spraying consistency I'd say Krylon is better. And when it comes to the black gloss Krylon has it beat in color depth and gloss finish. For this case I am not too concerned with the black so I will keep using this. For the red I will use this brand too. The outside of the case is much more accessible for color sanding and a few coats of clear should look real nice

Oh, I almost forgot, the fan grills plan B aint gonna happen. I looked at the current cut outs and they are right up against a second lip edge in the trim lip, so theres nowhere to cut below the edges of the circles, so I will have to devise something else.

thanks for watching
