Guess what this is going to be?

I haven't decided yet. Something EVIL.

So you're getting a woman masked onto the body?

oh I just noticed the sub-zero

what did you end up doing to make it fit?

I picked up some very fine precision files and removed some of each ridge. I'm going to get some 300-1200 grit sandpaper to finish, then polish with aluminum polish and some dremel buffing wheels.

still need airwalk :):):)

My next project will most likely be based around a Triton frame.

When you get a chance, do you think you could take a few close up pictures of the body where you did the filing. Just need something to work off of for when my body arrives.

I'll get some this weekend when I have the pieces in to finish the mod. It's pretty easy to see what to file off though, the feedneck screws in and you can eyeball it. I slowly removed metal until there was no more light shining through underneath the feedneck.

Is it a really expensive paper weight?

Awesome, thanks Rob.

Another inquiry... Is polishing it off before an anodizing necessary? When my body comes in it will be raw and I do plan on getting it anodized shortly after.

As it is, no. Colin does a fantastic job polishing the body and rail. It's almost nickel like in the finish. I'm just polishing the area that I filed down to get rid of the filing marks and smooth it out. It's hidden, but I'll know that the scuffing is there.
