Case Mod - In Progress ⭐ MAD MAX Case Mod Tribute

Well, ya know, it's a lotta work to make a real blown engine, and it would have mostly been under the hood. Gotta have it hanging out like a HotWheels toy.
*Flashbacks to watching a friend sitting inside the engine compartment to work on an LTD.

 

haha, screen shot from this video, theyre building replica,




the upright 80mm rad just protruded too much. I want the supercharger and blower to be more of the focal point

 

The Max mod is consuming my bench space, haha. Last night I cut opening in the 5.25 bay to route the tubing from the 80mm radiator

 

I like the progress of the project, will the engine have some other function than aesthetic? I'm jealous at your workshop, I hope that I will soon get out of my living room and make something similar (workshop space)

 

@neSSa yes, I've motorized the belts on the engine, https://twitter.com/Mnpctech/status/992023385818492928

I saved two of my limited run of mad max fury road fan grills for this project, they were machined from acrylic and painted with weathered, clip below shows me dry brushing

 

Damn, this is looking good!

Extra props for focusing on the original and not the crappy remake.

 

@David ahh for sure man, saw it opening weekend in theater

Cutting opening for the radiator lines, finishing edges with Black u-channel molding trim from http://www.mnpctech.com

 

Fabbed a mounting bracket from 20 gauge steel for the 80mm radiator

 

Do you guys keep the factory fans you pull from cases? Granted some brands are decent, but I'm asking myself why I keep the cheap and junky ones.

 

more pics I captured around the workshop



This is another ongoing build, project Penta B, https://mnpctech.com/corsair-crysta...d-gaming-pc-build-rainbow-brite-case-mod.html



My new obsession, Vintage Analog Audio Components



One of my early case mods, Malfunction with Inwin A500 case.

 

Off topic Bill - lovin' the spoiler workshop shelving

 

Nice Chieftec Dragon
I never should have gotten rid of mine

 

We need a show us your mod shop thread

 

The irony. I finally upgraded my amps due to random full-volume 'Skrrriiiiiiich' noises.

 

ha, it's such a mess atm

and Yip, I'm ditching the scoop on the scale V8 and making the Scott Superslot fuel injector scoop from Max's V8. I started by makingthe top and bottom portions from acrylic, but getting the 45 angle degree bend from acrylic is "challenging" without the acrylic warping. I ditched that idea and made another bottom half from 20 gauge sheet metal. Which reminded me I really need a new bending brake. The two pieces are joined together with Scotchweld DP-190 epoxy. I need to make the base next, and maybe add the fuel lines.

 

Max's Injector scoop done, needs to be painted dark silver aluminum, along with everything else on the engine

 

Hi Kim!

Out of curiosity I grabbed this Vertical GPU bracket to see how the GPU looks in front of the Enermax chassis. Hmmmmm

 

Thank you @MLyons ...I LOVE that idea, but that space is already dedicated to 240mm radiator... Hmmmm, I'll give it further thought
