Got more updates than just this one though it appears the pictures are on my sisters phone or i've lost them.


First coat of primer on some of the parts =]]




I've still gotta make 2x 8pin 1x 6 pin connector for cabling then thats all done.
Some bondo needs to be added to a sheet of steel that was cut to short(should look good once painted) and then everything can be coated with primer then painted. =]

when i painted the second coat inside it was a rather large pain cause i kept running the the hose through wet paint and ruining my work.
This round i made a little paint booth outside since it was a nice day. Sorry for shitty picture, it's in the shade and iphone still.




oh and sorry its sideways =\, defying laws of gravity anyone?

Another update. Havn't done anything since painting since i've had no nice weather(snowing, raining, busy on sunny days =[).
However today my neighbor came over and we got the last few things done for welding.
Mounted a 45 degree support on the wall mount frame, as well as a method to bolt it to the wall.

Welded some plates onto the angle iron of the desk to hold the back cover in place




then made some hinges and fit them in. everything moves smoothly now.
All thats left is to paint the last few things. Tomorrow is off & suppose to be sunny. Hopefully paint tomorrow then start piecing together =].
Also maybe i'll get off my lazy ass and do the rest of my sleeved cables =\
