    U can do the job with dremel...

    but I use my dremel-lookalike for detail job's .. small things ... not to cut hole's in things etc...

    U need powertools for that , jigsaw would be my choice , use some tape to cover the rest , and drew a nice straight line .. and make sure the panel will stay i place...

    and get a new aluminium-cut blade... and first test it on some scrap aluminium ...

    and then use the dremel to finish the edge's so its nice and smooth...

    Or some grind paper.. but the dremel will be faster..



    Good luck , the window is looking good .. a bit normal shape and a bit small ... but looking good none the less!

    You can pick up a cheap jigsaw from any hardware store.

    It will be a lot easier and quicker than with a dremel, just make sure you use plenty masking tape, stay inside the line and have a file ready for finishing it off.

    Ok thats my update for now.

    Hopefully should be buying some plexi this week to complete the window, then ill consider buying some lighting.

    Not gonna bother using spiral wrap for the moment cos hopefully ill be getting a new motherboard for my birthday on Monday 9th so ill use spiral wrap when me installed that.

    im done.

    Hi i thought i should pop along and contrabute too this Project.

    Have to say that grill looks sweet as a nut and hopefully look even better in the Metal. Your window is a great design but will hopefully be extended as you are only showing your drive cages Of which we can sort out in a nice colour so they don't look boring :D Mmmmmm painting :p.

    O and what colour is that trim??? is it black hmmm

    Yup the trim is black.
