so i was boared seeing my plane silver cabby (local brand) .
i saw varius cabby mods also of KMD .....and then decide to mod my cabby .with a transperent side panel.
so ,firstly i took left side panel of my cabby and made design layout on it ,as per the transpernt side would be.
then main question was how to cut metal sheet .
my freind's dad has workshop (in UDYAMNAGAR , KOLHAPUR ,MAHARASHTRA) next to which is workshop manufacturing home cabinet (it is called "TIJORI" in marathi ) .so i got there and asked them to have cut to my side panel ......they agreed for it . they finised work in just 5mins. they took HAMMER & CHISEL and just went on ramming sheet .so it was my design out !!!!! they not used stuffs like dermel and all ..........just HAMMER & CHISEL &just 5min. or less !!!:cool2:
then i bought a U shaped channel to cover cut portion . got it as for 7rs/meter . so got 3meter for 21rs. of which still i have spare .
then got a ACRYLIC sheet from friends GLASS shop @100buck which was double in size. later sold half for 50 bucks . so ACRYLIC costed me 50bucks .
then on cut out of left side panel ,i finished installing U cahnnel & used VELCRO sticker(i got it free with CCFL'S ) to stick ACRYLIC to side panel .
so it was my left side panel ready.
hyeah:
now i had mesh cut out of right side panel left out . so i came with IDEA to make 3-d box on right side panel which will:-
make me able to unscrew H.D.D w/o removing side panel.
ventilation.
light coming form mesh reall looks cool.
so again went to workshop .they made cut of square shape as my design on side panel.
then i used their bending machine(donno name) to make a box ...i lerned this in my ENGG. college in practicals.....
then covered this also using U channel &then bought hinge (bronze for 20bucks ) and just stuck box to side panel with hinge support using FEVI QUICK .
so that was my mod.
then thought of improving looks .
so got BLACK RADIUM strips for 35rs (7feet )
used stripes as in DODGE VIPER running parallel.
then for portion at bottom i used 2inch wide tape which was at home .
so...i am done with it .
it costed me just around 130bucks !!!! :hap2:
not included CCFL'S wich i got for 340bucks .
sorry that i do not have working pics..thes are taken when all was ready....this coz i do not have a digicam :no:
