1971 Dodge Super Bee Mod

Nice pin stripes.

I cant wait to see the scoop ontop are you going to put a fan in the scoop so it sucks in aid or something?

Probably blows out because it is at the top of the case.
Oh yea TGS. That's looking good.

[TheGreatSatan]

Yeah it will be an exhaust. Heat rises, so it seem stupid to fight that.

I replaced the mesh for the Hood Scoop.

And I painted the Hood Scoop to match the case.

Then I drilled out the screw holes .

Then I put the fan in and blackened the screws.

Then put the Hood Scoop perfectly on.

Well I woke up at 3:00 a.m. and couldn't fall back asleep so...

Just to see what it looks like, I added the drives

Then I hooked the top exhaust fan to a test PC to see it lit up.

Lastly I fixed the pin stripe so that comes from the Superbee logo and goes clear to the end of the case.

really nice case mod looks very clean.

i have the same keyboard, but with black/black

[TheGreatSatan]

Yeah, I like the keyboard, but the mouse is pretty crappy. It's a horrible Apple-type knock off.


I went to the hobby store and spent .99 cents on some lettering.

Which added some detail to the hood scoops.

Next came the window grill. First some primer...

Then the green on the mesh.

And I made the grill frame black.

Then I bonded the Mopar "M" to the mesh

And lastly I put it all together.

And then on the panel.

I'm waiting for my motherboard to arrive so while I wait I thought I'd get some "current progress" pics.

[TheGreatSatan]

I was wondering if I should use this old HD cooler bay front piece in place of one of the bays to "look" like a car grill? Or would it be overkill?

Also, since I lost money on the motherboard in a bad ebay transaction and since my In-Laws will be visiting in 2 weeks, I added a multifunctional floppy/media reader drive. I was going to add a Matrix Orbital LCDC, but do not have the money.

[nil8]

Personally, I would leave the grill out.

That's too bad about ebay. I bet that would have been sweet.

[TheGreatSatan]

So I was looking at maybe putting the engine inside, but I think it's way too big. It sure won't fit between the drive cage rails and it would probably prevent a video card from staying in the slot.

I added some lights to the right side to shine out of the side scoops.

Here's some pics of the lights so far.
