1.  anyone is welcome to post any pictures they want in this thread  (please use discression).  if you are going to post pictures i would please ask you to resize them to 640x480 pixels, and in your case if they are going to be graphic i would incourage you to make them even half that size.  i dont mind, but it seems that some members of the community are offended by those type pictures.

2.  i called all around town and  got different prices everywhere i called.  if you are going to get diamond plate, you probably want to go with aluminum.  chances are unless you are going to paint it, you will probably have to take steal to the chromers to get a nice finish.  you can also buy sheets that small at lowe's, but they are pretty expensive.  try calling your metal fab places, as well ash sheet metal and aluminum venders.

you have no idea.  that guy can build anything, im not kidding.  i dont know if any of you would remember this, but he invented the colman garden plow.

i really appreciate all the support.  im about to go, and  try to get some stuff done.  ill probably have pics this afternoon.

so today i just focused on getting the fan ready for reassembly, and getting the radiator mounted.  (a minor miscaluculation brought the project to a screeching hault for tonight).


i removed the sticker.


i taped that beast up, and painted it.


in the mean time i made a black sticker out of electrical tape.  i think it looks a heck of alot better.


all done.


dont forget to lubricate your blade children.  it actually recomended using this in the book.  i thought it was helarious.


almost finished.  all we need now is the barb holes


and test mounted.  it looks a little crooked because only the bottum is screwed in.  now... the rad is supposed to be flush with the right side, not the left.  this puts the bard from the waterblock and the barb from the rad just out of line enough to throw the entire project off.  now i have to complete reconstruct another back i/o plate.  i started to make the cuts for it tonight, but i got too frustrated and started rushing.  i had to quit before i ruined something.

75 bucks for diamond plate? where do u shop? goto lowes. hardwar, its about 30-50 bucks for a nice slabe of it.

[haloloser]

you actually pay about 40 dollars for a sheet thats about 1 1/2' by 2'.  i payed 40 dollars for a 3x3' piece.  i meant that a sheet 4'x8' would cost about 75 dollars.  that was a cheap as i could get it in town.

[snow rider221]

wow looking good!!!

it keeps getting better every post!! I decided not to post my pictures after taking another look at them, there pretty graphic. haha oh well at least were both better and back modding!

[eminvil_12]

yeh i am loving this thread.

by the way haloloser are you  australian???

snow:  thanks for putting thought in before you posted them.  like i said, i really dont mind, its just some of the members arent to keen on those kind of pics.  i normally can handle stuff like that, but i guess because i had to go through it, the pics really didnt bother me.

eminvil: im from south georgia.  im about 3 1/2 hurs south east of atlanta, and 1 1/2 hours north of valdosta in a small town called albany georgia.  its great to have support form all the member, but especially when the older members get behind me.  thanks.

umm, i guess i was up about 3 hours ago trying to figure out how i was going to fix the back panel, and now im up getting ready for a visitation.  i decided to give it one last look, and figured out what i was going to do.  it was definately a God thing because now i dont have to reconstruct the back panel.  i have to orders some parts and stuff soon.  next time i work on it i should have some pretty neat stuff finished.
