ic ic ... I thought it's for this case ...

I was wondering how on earth u would miraclely fit in the Freezer ..

coz I got Alphine for my gf's V300 also ... it fit in just nice with a centimeter of gap only ..

hmm .. seems like no choice to use any tall cooler for such as smal case then ...

probably have to go WC ...

Aih, everyday come to this topic didn't see even a single picture oso.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. I finally had a brilliant idea today. I didn't hafta use Sketchup which will take me a looooooong time to learn. Then I remembered a favorite car racing game of mine on the PS2 last time. It used cell shading for it's graphics n I absolutely loved how the gfx looked like. Sooooooooo I decided to do a little cell shading of my own. Nonid for me to learn Sketchup now. All I need is sum cell shading looooooooooooooooove.


Here's the final concept I have decided on after many, many, many hours of thinking, sketching, coloring. There were quite a few concepts I had in mind but I've settled for this.


This is the air scoop side. The stock mesh air intake thingy will be removed n replaced with a car bonnet air scoop. I'll be sourcing this scoop in the next few days. Most likely over the weekend when I go over to the car parts shop. I will also buy an original blue oval Ford bonnet logo for the front mesh panel.














This is the other side of the case. Round acrylic window with my favorite number 3 on it. The acrylic will be externally mounted with screws or rivets just like the racing cars. White CCFL or LEDs will light up the internals to white so it looks like the GT40's white number plate. Those 2 thingys u c on the side panel r bonnet safety pins. These r used on racing cars to secure the bonnet from flying off. I will use it to secure my side panel.












Finally it's on to the top panel. There will most likely be a top exhaust but cant c in this pic coz it doesnt go far back enuf. All my sponsors will be given space here for their logos. This will be just like the racing car with sponsors' stickers on the bodywork. I will order sum custom cut stickers with the logos of Silverstone, Inter-Asia, Team Group, Arctic Cooling, e-Devices n they will all appear on the top panel.








Wokeh, now that I've finally settled on the final concept, I need to find just a few more parts, the bonnet scoop n pins n also an original Ford blue oval logo. After that it's mod mod mod. This weekend is gonna be an exciting parts shopping experience.

finally some pic ed...

a nice idea there ^.^

This looks like it's gonna be awesome. Love the color very much. Can't wait for the finished version.

email Ford with your design concept.. i believe they'll also be happy to sponsor some stuff. Free marketing for them wei.

sponsor u a gt 40...

aaaaaaaaaa~ juz a sketch ar, ian?

ahahaha, well, itz better than nothing to feed us hungry spectators aite?

paintjob~ paintjob~ paintjoooooobbbbbbb~


btw, wat r those front panel X X X ??? mesh i believe?but orange mesh?

like the idea of the bonnet pins, v original... , cant wait to see the actual pix of the casing

All the best in ur new rig bro...may i be the first one to see it once it's done alright..haha..

I'll be happy with just the Ford bonnet emblem.






Ya the XXX is the mesh.

Can buy the taiwan version mar

Dowan ler. I want the real slim shady. I will go to the spareparts shop n order an original Ford emblem. No rush for that though coz it's 1 of the last items to go in the mod.

As for the rest of the parts like the bonnet air scoop. I went shopping over the weekend n jsut cudn find 1. The shops now only sell rough fiberglass types now. The units are very roughly finished n require an incredible amount finishing work. I'm gonna scrap that idea coz fiberglass dust is really really bad for health n I'm not gonna jeopardise my health over a project. I used to see nice molded plastic scoops all over the place but all of a sudden they've all gone extinct.

Anyone seen any nice molded plastic bonnet air scoops? I really need the scoop so I can start on the mods coz the scoop needs to go on b4 I start work on the surface preparations n painting. Helppppppppppppppppppppppp meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

plastic? ok try to see if anywhere got

Went shopping for more parts n I've practically given up on the bonnet scoop. I'll most likely mod the original or make a custom grill out of acrylic. Not sure which way I'll go. Haven't decided yet.


Anyway, here's sum stuff I just bought for the project. July issue of Octane magazine with special feature on GT40. This will help me with sumore ideas later on. The bonnet pins for the side panel mounting, scalpel kit for detailed cutting works, n the best toy I've bought in a long long time. A blowtorch! It has a 1300C needle tip flame for works which require lotsa heat. This thing can even bend glass. Yes u read right, GLASS.












Also got myself sum new goggles. The old 1 was all scratched so I decided it was time to buy a new 1. Bought a nice lovely goggle from ACE. Made in the USA! The lens is so clear now it's like I was watching Astro tru the old goggles n now with these new goggles it's like HD DVD. The ventilation system is so much better too. Hardly any fogging unless it's an extremely humid day.










Here's the torch.










Here's how I'm gonna use it in my project. As afterburners for the rear exhaust. Flame at max power.










Flame at minimum power.








While taking pix for this update, I even used the torch as a lightsaber. A pesky mosquito was irritating me n I turned on max power n started slashing around n got the bugger n roasted it. May the Force be with him.
