::[04:58 PM HST] Progress::

I got the plexiglass cut out and drilled holes in the plexiglass and pannel to put the screws through. I haven't been working on it for a while. I also bought the rounded IDE and floppy cables and my blue Cold Cathode Tube. I got 256 mb sdram from Charles. I used my dremmel to sand down to the bare metal and have reprimed the pieces. I have yet to repaint them with the yellow laquer. I'm making sure everything is nice and flat before I paint. I finished bondoing and sanding the face. I painted the face and coverplates with the gray metallic paint. Still have a lot of work still to do.

::[11:20 PM HST] Must Repaint::

After sanding and repainting, the paint started spidering. I let it dry and i'm going to sand, reprime and paint.

Today, I bought some bondo and bondo'd up the holes on the front pannel i didn't need. I sanded it down and looks pretty good, have to touch up some parts, has holes in some, and the lock hole still isn't filled.
