so things coming together slowly,but i can now say that im glad i got the hard cover it really is going to set this off nicely(cheers scott!!)and shaving the ass looks nice too ,soo all in all alot of hard work to get to this stage but can definatley see the progress,quite happy at this point with it,

Yep, still in love. lol
This is amazing... Can't wait for what's next.

lol well have some thing you may like beccsa then again probably going to get bagged out for doing this but im going to do it any way!!! be back in a minute once the pics come thru.........

well now i came up with this idea ages ago but never said anything about it due to the response i got from the scketch i done of the tray area ,

so basicly this is a sign that is going to be put in the tray into a raised floor section,

i thought about and thought about a way to do it but couldnt come up with a simple effective way untill a few weeks ago when came across a neon sign on ebay that i liked,how ever it wasnt a datsun sign it was a heavy metal band sign i think from memory ????any way it sparked the idea and now its all underway ,so basicly its the same thing thats on the cover ........

how cool is that!!!!!




but its going to be lighted with a neon type light ,this is where its going just in case yous cant remember............

and so after a bit of searching i found someone to custom make me my own dastun sign to the size i wanted,it came all the way from singapore i think ,well some here in china ,and i have to say they did a bloody great job on it exactly what i asked for ,its a piece of 1/4 thick acrylic with the letters and lines carved into the back of it,so when you light it up the light reflects the carved letters,pretty dam cool i think(suck on that pimp my ride!!!)

so basicly i have to make a frame to house the sign set up some sort of neon light and then seall it in with a bit of perspecs,

so heres the start of this little side piece....

here we go so i got the sign( fully sick)
next i needed a light so went searching but unfortunatley couldnt find what i was really after so had to settle for the one i got,

so this light isnt a neon but close to it,it has leds in it so there is close to no heat produced and also it draws a very low current...........

heres a comparison of my shoe to the sign just to give you an idea of the size.....




ive started building the frame basicly i just built around the light and the sign
couple of pieces of mdf to get me started heres the top and bottom............




then geting the light fixed to the wood....










so theres the light attached to the wood.

now i have the top of the frame and the bottom of the frame with the light on it next i needed to figure out the rest of the frame.............




joining the top and bottom together

after a bit of stuffing round cuting measuring etc i ended up with these bits.......




and all assembled together they look like this..........







and then test fitting the sign.........

so back to being naked.....




off to work for a bit of a sand up.....
