Case Mod - In Progress Project: Cadillac Stacker : Finished at long last 6/1/08

No sweat! Just don't ask me to sew anything!

 

this is amazing I can't wait to see it finished

 

Krylon makes an excellent chrome paint. Be sure the area is really smooth, do several layers and wet sand in between. I did this with a resin cast model then used Tamiya clear red paint and everyone literally thought I remade the piece out of red alloy. Take your time and it can look as good as real chrome.

 

Thanks for great comments guys, Just got back from my surprise birthday holiday so should get some work done this week, will have to try get some from ebay, cant seem to get any Krylon paint over in the uk. Thanks for tip mate : )

 

it looks like a really great project

 

Really nice project! Will definitly keep an eye on it .

 

Great work on the bondo, and an even better paintjob. Nice

 

Really nice job, the paint is wonderful! Did you polish it after the clear coat (assuming you used a clear coat)? Or is the paint just that shiny .

 

Its just soo pimp!

 

Hehe thanks Mankz PIMP was the look i was going for The paint was polished with 3M Perfect it III compound and a lambswool bonnet on my drill (now deceased RIP drill).

 

What attachment did you use for your drill Skunkmonkey? I have bought a cheap car polisher for my case but it's huge and am looking at getting a smaller one for the intricate case bits - a drill attachment would be perfect.

 

Ight skunkmunkey jst thought i'ld say this project is coming along a treat hope to have some more updates soon and will def be voting for you as mod of the month gd luck

axiom uk

 

God, this thing looks better every time I come and have a look at it.

 

Ohh, this is very fancy indeed!

I don't know if you had this planned, but if you could mod 2 rear-lights into the back of the case, like the 1957/1959 model has it, it would be DOPE!

The mod is classic as it is, but this would really do it for me.

These are the only pictures i could find im affraid:

 

OMG! So much has been done since I last checked! Great work man!

 

I love the Theme and the paint job is KILLER!

 

Ok nice update today, finally got all the watercooling gear in, Dont you just love all the boxes you get after and order? Its like christmas when you're a kid..... Il let the pics do the explaining:



full EK block set inc the 8800gtx block too, and a swiftech Apogee GTX (love the look of that block so much.



Missus wasnt best pleased.....



Cleaning the loop with some LICS loop clean-up, great stuff....



Almost there now, will get some more pics up tomorrow, If you can see i had to change the inside a bit, so will be making a new panel to go in there, prob was I ran outa space because of the amount of hardware in there lol.

 

The watercooling really adds to the theme

 

Yeah, that´s one of the best things mate

Nice purple water !!!

This thread delivers!

But anyways, away from the WoW realm forums trolling speak, awesome case man, i love the paint, looks mint, and the caddy emblems. Leather interior, that's something i've never seen before, and to be honest, i love it.
