ow on to the new one. It starts with the purchase of the gbfans shell. This shell is awesome. Great detail to accuracy. I did want to add an [aluminum n-filter](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/aluminum-welded-n-filter). I was nervous with cutting of the cast in one, but once i started it was accually pretty easy and went well.

The next thing i did was add a shim under the corner of the [ion arm](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/aluminum-welded-ion-arm) to make it sit flat and flush on the shell. Added some bondo then in that area to smooth it all out. The shell sagged in that area a bit. I then sanded off the eda discsand the top sections of the two ribs on the powercell. Then added some plexiglass to remake the top of the ribs. Also in one of the pucs you can see i added the trim nails in the powercell and crank gen.[![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/9/3/9321c64c272ea77ddf8d6e95fb2624dd88d3e4c9.jpeg)](http://s235.photobucket.com/user/mykstylz/media/GB1%20hero/20140327_143042_zpslfgdcrrf.jpg.html) [![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/3/c36343031d0506c3a2189c8780e881643145b1f3.jpeg)](http://s235.photobucket.com/user/mykstylz/media/GB1%20hero/20140327_143054_zpslfave6sy.jpg.html) [![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/6/d/6d703a0a85731db5557c982be44f7dd6594b7e27.jpeg)](http://s235.photobucket.com/user/mykstylz/media/GB1%20hero/20140302_211409_zpshukd5u5o.jpg.html) [![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/7/6/76ebe174f1c18f88546dbbfc19ac1ac9f387b11d.jpeg)](http://s235.photobucket.com/user/mykstylz/media/GB1%20hero/20140302_211403_zps6cxueyw5.jpg.html) [![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/f/2/f2482c150732c95674620b0e124299a14121cbd3.jpeg)](http://s235.photobucket.com/user/mykstylz/media/GB1%20hero/20140302_211350_zpscegkuu4d.jpg.html) [![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/2/b/2b87f2b41a1f47505f37aa786a376d6bbda1bff2.jpeg)](http://s235.photobucket.com/user/mykstylz/media/GB1%20hero/20140301_135106_zps5mttdaak.jpg.html) ---

I dont have any other photos from the process of fitting the rest of the parts up. With all aluminum parts it was pretty easy. And the holes come marked on the shell and the parts were all aready threaded. I did cut out a space for wiz’s loom holder. Witch is great. I live having the loom atatched the the mother board instead of the shell. Makes for easy shell removal. So the next pics are when i masked uverything up to be texturized. I used the homex wall texture. Preheated the can before use. And when that dried a coat of primer.

For the [n-filter](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/n-filter), did how did you attach it to the shell and did you cut it to fit the shell? ---

After cutting out the cast one i just put the aluminum one in its place. It fit perfectly. I did not cut it to fit over the [cyclotron](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/cyclotron). One it was in place and i liked the fit i used hot glue to hold it in place then jb welded it permenatly in place from the inside. That way there is some strenth to it and it wont break off. ---

Ok well after i got the shell painted i really did not like how the wall texture turned out. Its was way to heavy and clumpy. It looked good when primed but not when painted. So i took on the painstacking chore of sanding everything back down and then repriming the shell. I masked everything off again and did the duplicolor bed liner for the texture. Without a doubt this is the way to go. Cant really tell from the photos cause of the flash but its a nice even texture. It looks really good in person. I also rivited on my aluminum eda discs. After the texture u sprayed on the satin black paint. I started my final assembly and began to add all the aluminum parts.

Now onto the thrower. Full aluminum baby. This is the way to go. Twisting barrel grip, extending acrylic tube. The [hat lights](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/hat-lights) have the bases installed. Dry rub transfers. I know the side discs should be black. Just havent taken them back off yet to paint. I used the lever technique for the extending and retracting barrel. Also have a flashbulb installed in the barrel. I cut the bulb i half and put the led flash light from the gbfans kit inside the glass from the real bulb.
