Hey guys,
So first off, thank you so much!!! I’m glad no one harassed me about the shell not being 100% accurate (a few people on Facebook have been shitting on my proton pack), lol.
Honestly, I do not plan on doing any fixing of the shell. I just plan on leaving it as is for the build. I am a bit too nervous with this being my first build, and with this shell costing as much as it did, that I might wind up doing more damage than good. That being said, I will be doing another all aluminum build in the near future, and will be having this one 3D printed, so it will be 100% screen accurate!
As for the vent kit, yes, I am definitely going to be cutting a hole out for a vent kit in the N-Filter!!! I only just started to learn how to weld and work with metal, so I was saving that for last. I also will be trying to put a vent kit into the wand as well!!
Also, this shell is not as heavy as most would think. In all honesty, fiberglass/resin shell might even be a little heavier!! I will definitely give a totally weight once it’s fully built!
I apologize if this project takes a while to complete, as I am waiting for parts to be delivered. So basically I am building as the parts arrive.
I will definitely be uploading updated pictures as soon as I get the rest of the pack parts attached and it is ready for paint!
Once again, I really appreciate the positive support of my first GB build ever!
