HI everyone. So I have been trolling the boards for a few weeks now, and have been glued to almost every build thread. I have to say that the “Search” Function here on the GB site is very good and I was able to find most of my answers without having to post and ask. In that research I realized that the threads with pics and How To Type info was invaluable to me. It was like all I had for references and thought that I should do the same for the next guy. With recents threads about how hard its getting to get stuff, I wanted to let those know with a little patience and asking the right people you can get a lot done. I decided to start with a thrower as my first step into the GB World. I hope this shows others my commitment to this hobby and the boards.
Ok enough of that. Thanks to Joe Luna and Don from SoCal Busters they have given the oppertunity to purchase a proton Pack Wand. (First of its kind from what they told me) a Fiber Glass Shell with Metal Handles and Pre Drilled Front handle with Twist. I have to say it’s very nice, and glad to be one of the first to get one on the open market. This is in no way a 107-OFFICIAL Build Thread, but I have been in close contact with both and can assure you that they have helped with any issues I have had. For that I wish to thank them by putting this thread out there and get some love to them. OK here we go.
HOW TO - Build your 107-Studios Thrower (at least how I did)
Things you will need
1 - Dremel with various small grinding and Cutting bits
2 - JB Weld (Quick Drying is what I used, but you can use the regular stuff too)
3 - VICE - This proved to be very helpful
4 - Drill with various Drill bits
5 - Sand Paper - 400 and 800 Grits
6 - many Hex bolts ( I will try and list them as we get those steps)
Part 1 - Arrival and Preping
**1 **- So you just recieved your 107-Studios Fiber Glass with Metal Tubing from the mail. Yippy!
It will come Priorty Mail all nicely Bundled.


When you first take it out of the Box this is whats inside.

Took all the extras out of the bag to see what I had

Here is what you will get:
-
Fiber Glass Shell with Metal Sleeve attached already. Holes pre-drilled
-
2 Metal Pipe Handles (front Pipe has holes pre-drilles with Hex Bolts to attach)
-
1 Metal base plate
-
2 Light Caps - 1 Red and 1 White
-
8 Resin Parts
-
Clippard Valve
-
Rear INstrument Bar
-
Heat Sink
-
Round Cylinder that goes Under instrument Bar
-
Round Cylinder that goes in front of Thrower
-
Both Cosmetic pieces that go on either side of the fron barrell
-
2 - Now that we know what we have, lets get started. First thing I decided to tackle was dremeling out the
holes and slots on the thrower. There are several areas to get to.



This is what I used to start grinding with.

Once your done with the holes, we can use a smaller grinder for the VENT parts.

Now that the small holes are drilled out and the vents done, use a small file set to clean up the edges.

Here some Close ups of the Clean up with the files.

3 - Then it was time to get to the Big Hole for the Rear handle Bar. I sadly did not take pics of this (kicking self)
as I was just to into it at this point. After I cut the pre-defined hole I realized that the pipe was not fitting.
You can see here.

SO i whipped out the Dremel and grinded down the side a bit more to open the it a bit more. You can see I made my self
a guide to help me not go to far out.

And Whola! It fits now…

4 - Ok so we got the rear handle in but now I see that the bar is a bit off. Check It! Its going upwards a bit

So I got the grinder out again and grinded the top part of the inside of the box like so.

Grinded and tested a few times before I got it right, but you can see it now straight. (For those wondering, if
I comprimised the integrity of the strength of the box, I assure I did not). This thrower box is VERy Steardy!
Much Better now!

OK that was it for Day 1. Any and all critiques are highly encouraged.
