I'm in Juneau. Yesterday I saw a post from a recent member of the board that listed his location as AK. Damn. There's more of us everyday. I understand about the shipping prices too. I ordered a processor and a wireless card and it costed 25 dollars to ship. Ugh. Keep on trucking. Project's looking awesome.

 

Update!

got the top window cut out today, it looks pretty nice there are a couple of wobbly spots, but its not bad for a first time, especialy w/ the continuous curvage

here's the ellipse drawn out on the top panel

here it is cut out, rough before the sanding

here's the cut after sanding for an hour

here's how its gunna sit on the top frame, it'll be secured by 6 bolts/screws that i still need to find

@thegoon- "keep on trucking" i know someone who lives in ketchikan and says that exact same thing, must be a southeast saying, hahaha

I love your moddin tools.
I bought this cheapo nibbler thing. But I still use an angle grinder.


That is a truelly bad flame on the side, bs bad with splines...

But yeah that is going to way a ton.

 

Finally an update

well, i'm sure many of you thought i had gone forever, but i was just really busy w/ school and all, and then on vacation, but now i am back and continuing work on my case. today i cut the side panel and the window. the flames are just roughed in, but it already took about 2 hours. btw i did all of the cutting w/ a jigsaw, the true window cutting tool


the cut-out sketched onto the side

the cut half done

close up

cut finished

close up, i didn't finish the part in red, cuz when i tried, it bent and i couldnt find another saw to do it with at the time

i start work tomorrow so i dunno if i will get more done till the weekend

looks good! I mean Good
you have a hell of a jobb getting those edges smooth!

 

Good Job Its looking good. Glad to see this project back on track.

 

awesome job

those flames are looking good man. i was wondering what had happened to the project, glad to see it wasnt scrapped or anything. keep up the good work ~~Sunny-D

 

Awesome!!!!

Really diggin those flames bro!
Check out blingGreen, and you'll see why I am excited about your project!! Excellent job cutting those babies out! I can appreciate the effort!

Keep going! This thing is going to ROCK!!!!!

 

It wound have been nice if you did that all around it, don't you think? It looks kind of cool like that!

 

yeah, but itr takes a long time to do that, and it wouldn't end up smooth and flat w/o a lot of work. I think i'm just gunna end up sanding the outward facing sides of the frame w/ an orbital sander to get them smooth.

but no time to talk, i got to go clean the garage so i can mod some more
