Just a small update for now. I spent far too much time working and too little time on the build. I drilled out the MB tray holes as Charles suggested and primed some of the internals.

I used the outstanding Irwin Unibit! It allows you to drill from 3/16-7/8"



I drilled two 7/8" holes in the MB tray as Charles suggested.



I love this bit!



Nice



Don't forget the safety glasses there is the chance of shrapnel! Charles this is a real KAT!



A little primer shot. Can any one identify the blurred wheel in the background?



Thanks BA!



As you can see in the primer pic the original midplate has been primed, but once again MADNESS prevails and Charles is sending me the real thing from M|M!

It also appears that I will be getting a M|M faceplate to boot. I will have more pics tomorrow evening. I just applied the first coat of black and I am having a blast. I hope this this helps others to take the plunge. Sometime next week I will begin th M|M sleeving process which means I will be PM'ing BA, Charles and Dangal's for help, not to mention Johnnie Walker!
