Bundling the fins together to mill them down to the same size.
The center fin is the template. It is marked with cross-hatched pencil marks so that I know when to stop sanding.
Fins drilled out and dry fit to the coolant pipe.
No Coke can but this will have to do as a reference to the scale.
Third coat of aluminum. I will probably do one more brush-on coat before switching to spray. Trying out control panel inserts. This might help the appearance of the backside.
These are all suppose to be 4" cold cathodes. The center blue one is mine and is what I was expecting when I ordered a few different colors.
I built my own lamp carrier and mount for the amber light. The carrier is carved out of a piece of PVC pipe.
Mounted in place. Looking forward to seeing how this looks lit up.
