    To continue to the make the case look like the screen shots I need to madk the two boxes that are the top.
    These are a must to have as they are really stand out feature of the Radio.
    I will show what I did to one as it pretty much went the same for both.

    I got a plastic "project box"...






    The front box is going to hold the Power and Reset switch.
    I marked out the area and drilled a few holes.



    and cut it out...



    Next I took some aluminum marked, drilled, cut and files to fit the sides of the boxes






    While I was cutting aluminum I thought I would make a nameplate for the side of the case.
    It was pretty easy to do and I used some metal letter stamps to create the words.

    This is really not a mod, but a way to cure a problem.
    I used green LED fans, but the fans where made of clear plastic.


    I needed the frame to be black to go with the theme of the case so I taped off the blades...


    whipped out the flat black paint and BAM! It gave the fans a whole new look.


    The final touch was to add black cable sleeving to the power leads.


    The fan installed.
