    That's fantastic! Love your videos. You can't beat the look of cooling fins IMO.

    I have slightly mixed feelings about the overall design at this point but...

    :jawdrop::jawdrop::jawdrop:

    Your engineering, fabrication and presentation skills are outstanding! I am humbled by the professionalism of everything you do. And those videos have set a new standard, this is how modding should be presented!

    I can't wait to see more! Hopefully you'll have completely won me over by the time it's all done.

    Wow

    i have to echo the sentiments of other users here, the work you are doing here and the way you are recording it (with stop motion) is amazing. It's little details too, like powder coating the rails that went inside the "exhaust pipes" that no-one will ever see that sets this apart from other builds as you are going the extra mile. I can't wait to see more!

    Thanks :)

    Thanks man :)

    i'm not sure :)

    :)

    :hip:

    The customer strongly impacted the appearance of this casemod.
    The design of this project will provide some new surprises and themes for discussion.
    Thank you for the high appreciation of my creative projects.

    Steel rails are subjected to corrosion, painting them wasn't excessive. :)

    Need PR or something like that, I am not an expert in this area. :)
