[Sponsored] Water Phantom - Done! (Final pic, 11/14/12)

This is my first full build, and now it's sponsored!. It is constantly evolving. I just started modding, and I have a custom paint job for my side panel on the way!
If you would like to skype me about the build, add me, phillyd, say you are from OCN, and I'll show you the stuff in action, discuss my methods, talk about modding or hear you out on any ideas.
Please leave feedback and sub!!

Thanks Rowey for the banner
