Thank you for appreciating :).
i haven’t cut the case yet,but all the markings are done & i will soon cut it.
the problem is that i don’t have access to power tools like a dremel except a drill machine.
unfortunately i will have to cut the case old school style using saw blade.

UPDATE - 21/12/2010
Finally i was able to cut the side panel.
it took me about 5 hours to cut it & file it.
i used a 1/8" drill bit & drilled some holes out then i used a saw blade to cut it & after filing it here’s the result.
i think it’s almost perfect.
what do you guyz think??
this my friend is truly awesome
cheers bro and keep it up and keep us posted

Got some free time to work & completed the top panel.
i used a 1/8" drill bit to drill a series of holes inside the line,filed it & then sanded it to make it look professional.
here’s how it looks like -
so,what do you guyz think??
will start preparing the outer panels for the case for paint from now on

I Searched for a Professional Painter in my city & came across one.
the outer panels are now sanded & primed using Self Etching Primer
here are some pics (two to be precise )

@ surajspai - i don’t know buddy.i suppose different brand primer are of different color.
@mav2000 - Thanks,it’s an honor being appreciated by you. yes,it took me some time to make holes in top panel but i did it with patience & filing was comparatively easy as it’s aluminum not steel.
@Vibu - Thanks

**NEW YEAR BRINGS NEW UPDATES
I WISH ALL MY FELLOW TEians A VERY HAPPY & PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR
UPDATE - 01/01/2011**
Before modding i used to see others projects on sites all over the world & i found one thing common in them.
can you guess what was it?
PETS
people said that they are always there when you are modding something but i didn’t believed it, UNTIL NOW
This is a very small update to be honest,anyways here it goes
after priming the panels,he used a soft kinda filler to level the surface which i screwed using drill bit.
hope you all guyz like it

THE CASE HAS BEEN PAINTED WHITE,HERE ARE SOME TEASER PICS
I’M A HUGE FAN OF PINSTRIPING ART BUT SINCE THIS BEING MY CITY WHICH IS MORE OF A VILLAGE I DECIDED TO USE PLOTTER INSTEAD OF PINSTRIPER

The black part is Stencil on which i’ll be painting up tomorrow.
