AlShuryan Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Really dig the mod and can tell we have a car enthusiast working on this...I would like to know the process of counter sinking the vent holes in the side panel.Are the RADS polished to get the look?

ThermalMike Posted August 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 Thanks AL! The holes are dimple die'd, you run the panel through a punch or cut out the hole first, then you put it on a press with another die and press it down to give it the dimple effect. I have a car buddy that has the machine and it was just a friendly visit to hang out and then do the work. The Rads have been stripped, sanded and then polished on a wheel to get them where they are in the photos. I still have some polishing to finish, once I get the remaining parts for final photos. Been gaming on it in the meantime XD AlShuryan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermalMike Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 NEW UPDATE!!! Now that all the tube work was complete and leak tested, I took some time to finish up the wiring for the system and add in the custom BS Mods LED RGB lighting kit that was sent my way for the build. Some wire management and clean up the cables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThermalMike Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I love to paint and the right color is very important to me. To get a good color mixture of the Mayhems Aurora 2 Silver, I was looking to match the candy tangerine just right with a mix of Orange and Red dyes to get a nice colored coolant to complement the candy paint job. Mayhems helped out for the project with a series of dyes and coolants. Looks to me like this color will do, we will get it added into the system and I will have final photos with the coolant soon. A while back I found some vintage “Sunkist†bottles online, so I picked one up and filled/capped it off with some freshly squeezed Mayhems Aurora 2 Tangerine Red.

ThermalMike Posted October 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 For the last touches I wanted to make sure I thanked my sponsors for their support. I had the logos all traced out on my wife’s machine “which I never used before lol†and cut out the logos on some black vinyl to apply to the chassis side window. Here is how it came out on the window Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
