So today when I got Eric(Ejgunth87) aluminum bundle I started jonesing to put together my pack. I did pretty well for about 4 hours work. I started with nothing more than a drill some elbow grease and before you knew it, it started to look like a functional pack. Only took completed pictures for the day @2 different points one about 2 hours in the next when I stopped for the day
First I added the Clippard(Which is real and I bought from clippard) I had to file down the middle bolt on it to remove the side extra piece/edge it had. Once I had this done I then marked the screw holes for the other two screws attached to it already. Then I very carefully and slowly drilled through the shell, making sure to ease up as I felt myself get almost through.
Next I then did the same for the Vacum Tube. Then I did the same for the Injector tubes, Ion Arm and HGA. Then I did the same for the Matty Vhook
Next came the part that took a while since I did not have a alan wrench/Hex Set socket small enough for the Matty Vhook. I had to by hand a 1/4 turn at a time l tightened the Vhook assembly and backing plates together.
After all that hard work I made a sandwhich
Here is the result right before my break
As you can see the wand sits pretty flush against the shell
Then after my lunch break I continued on. I then drilled the Hole for the Shock mount here you can see my result
(Yes I know I have not mounted the shock to the shell yet)
Then I spent a good hour Drilling more holes for the beam line filler tube combo, Booster Tube. Then had to stop as my drill ran out of power. I also spent a good 20 mins trying to drill a hole PPD to mount it to the shell. My drill is not strong enough I guess. I did make a nice drill mark in it, so when i go to my auto class on tuesday I can just throw it in the drill press and have it done in 5 minutes or less.
I then was looking at how to attach my Crank Knob to the pack. As you can see from the photo
The screw inside seems to be all the way in. Could I just take it out with a alan wrench fitting and then drill a hole through the shell where a screw that fits that size hole in the crank knob would go? Or does anyone have any better thoughts?
Still have to dye and cut down my elbow pads, mount the shell to the motherboard and both to the alice frame. Do some wiring with my gbfans sound and light kits and mount them to the motherboard as well. Still it is coming together quite nice though
