Cool. Cant wait to see how it looks. Are you doing gussets on alot of stuff, it would make that thing rigid and a mofo.

geekfreek95 · 09-22-2010, 06:53 PM

Ok well here is my crappy iphone pics of it so far! it sucks this is my first tuber.

just a little more bending to do if u can tell my bottom half is way to big i need a rebend it tomorrow but here is the solder part its needs grinded down when its done.

Here i got really bored when i was done so i re painted this its not done yet.
