My friends in Europe will recognize this, it's a universal euro license mounting plate.
The recessed features and fastener holes play the part in my theme.

Applying Evercoat Everglass fiberglass filler

I've cut portions of the license mounting plate to fit the sides of my bezel

That is the type of creativity that separates the "good modders" from the "great modders".

Next stage is to cove the foam core with Fiberglass Filler, sand that, then sculpt more features. Pondering idea for adding ribbed spines to the circular frames for the 3 intakes.

If the weather holds up, I can start sanding the fiberglass shell... Preferably outside

Whenever I feel like I've got a big challenge ahead of me, I look at this photo of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth sculpting the plaster on the fairing for his "Rubber ducky" Trike ...notice plaster bags stacked behind him..Ed was the godfather of custom cars and bikes in the 50s/60s

That skull is a real work of art! I am eagerly awaiting the next update can't wait to see how this turns out!

Thanks for commenting! I should hopefully start sanding the bezel tommorow

I've been at the mercy of weather this week, so I haven't worked on the bezel. We're supposed to get in mid 40s today... "Get out your shorts and sun tan oil!"

I'm proud to announce that Cooler Master is sponsoring this build with a new Real Power M1000 Power Supply (RS-A00-ESBA).

I can confidently power whatever hardware I get from this point on ...lol

Ooooooooh, aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh.

Indeed, good stuff!

Easter brought a break this afternoon so I could get back to this project. I'm using a rotary tool with grinder attachment for excavating filler from the crevices of the bezel frame.

After more grinding today, I applied the 2nd layer of filler to areas of the bezel. I'll pre fit the plastic loom tubing next

Heres after sanding the 2nd application of Evercoat brand "Everglass: (short strand) fiberglass filler. I thought this would be the final coat, but I'm not satisified with the results yet. btw: I'm recording stages of the bezel for YouTube after getting several requests offlist. I'll remember to edit out all of the boring stuff..lol!

Test fitting the bezel onto the chassis and cut the wire loom tubing
