Project: Cuda 440 - Truly Done! 4/1

[TheGreatSatan]

The ideas are fine, but the actual converting it to a Computer case is saomething entirely different. Maybe there's some thing available at 1:6 scale?

Also, since this is a car theme mod, I would love a tape deck or AM/FM tuner in one of the bays. The only tape deck I saw was white and I doubt that cassettes were in the 1972 cars anyway. Any AM/FM tuners available for a PC bay?

hmm maybe hit the swap meets for an old 8 track player and convert it so when you hit the eject button the dvd tray comes out of it. shouldnt be hard to gut one and wire in an optical drive

The 426 Hemi model is 1:6 scale. I would say to get a 70s era car radio, then modify it to fit in the front bay (or several). Then modify the power button so it also diverts the audio from the computer to the radio.

I agree with the '70s-radio-front idea. I'm planning on throwing a Kenwood cassette deck in one of my cases eventually ('tis only half-finished) and wiring the line-level-out RCA connectors to one of the audio-in ports on the board. I reckon if you found the right eight-track player, you could do something similar.

Oh boy! I've got one hell of an idea!!

Find an old 8 track player or AM radio for a car and remove the bezel. Then fit the bezel over the DVD bay and thus stealth it!

Now that sounds like a sweet idea TGS.

I went ahead and bought the same hood scoop as SuperBee had. Also, I'm considering a authentic gas cap for the right side under the striping

[The boy 4rm oz]

Gas cap, sounds interesting.

[TheGreatSatan]

I cut out the side stripe by hand on a vinyl shelf liner. And no, not directly on the panel

And applied it to the panel.

Then sprayed on the flat black

I bought the "440" as a decal, because I'm horrible with painting on numbers/lettering

Then peeled off the backer

I purposely painted the stripe to go to the front

I'm sorry if it's not perfect. I did it all by hand with no rulers or guides
