Excellent build, Contact me when it's finished, so I can feature it on my fanpage 
 
for RUST effects, I've use Sophisticated Finishes, we made this DIY video in 2009, it's similar technique to your approach
 
 
I made a limited run of Fury Road grills and used Sophisticated Finishes as base coat

@Christophe, Yes, I share it when it;'s finished, Thank you!
 
@MEC-777 Thank you for commenting, wow, look at those front brake rotors glow!

As promised, I'm ditching the scoop on the scale V8 and making the Scott Superslot fuel injector scoop from Max's V8. I started by makingthe top and bottom portions from acrylic, but getting the 45 angle degree bend from acrylic is "challenging" without the acrylic warping. I ditched that idea and made another bottom half from 20 gauge sheet metal. Which reminded me I really need a new bending brake. The two pieces are joined together with Scotchweld DP-190 epoxy. I need to make the base next, and maybe add the fuel lines.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thats awesome, and sweet Avatar @RollinLower
 
Fabbed a mounting bracket from 20 gauge steel for the 80mm radiator


 

 

Thank you @Pangea2017 
 
Cutting opening for the radiator lines, finishing edges with Black u-channel molding trim

 

 

 

 

I saved two of my limited run of mad max fury road fan grills for this project, they were machined from acrylic and painted with weathered, clip below shows me dry brushing

The Max mod is consuming my bench space, haha. Last night I cut opening in the 5.25 bay to route the tubing from the 80mm radiator
 

 

I might just fabricate a hood as well. I made scale vette stingray cowl duct hood in 2005 with sheet metal and body filler


Yesterday I cut the top panel further so I could rotate the 80mm radiator onto it's side. It just protruded too much. I want the supercharger and blower to be more of the focal point, just a little OCD? maybe... haha  

Black Ice Nemesis GTX 80mm radiator may have won me over, instead of the scale generic radiator, sometimes you just gotta do things that feel right.. It also allows options for different compression fittings, versus the welded inlet/outlet ports. I've mounted the classic aluminum framed Evercool 80mm fan. I'll probably paint the fan dark grey. 
 

 

 

 

Do you recall the Red pull switch on Max's stick shift for his Supercharger? I thought it would be fun to somehow implement it into my Mad Max tribute build. The switch is used in commercial vehicles for controlling a two-speed axle assembly. I found it on Ebay as Cole Hersee part number 50036-BX. 

That's location for the GPU with this do-it-yourself vertical mount. The final GPU will have water block. 

Next stage is modifying the top rear portion of the Enermax Equilence case to hold two water reservoirs to emulate the rear fuel tanks on the falcon XB.

Amen, and Thank you for the post Rod!
 
oh, and no RGBs will be used in this build (lol)

 

Welcome! Thanks for checking out my tribute to Mad Max & his Interceptor build log. This is one of my Bucket list theme PC builds. My mother brought me to the premiere of The Road Warrior movie and I've been fan of this world ever since. This will be a modified desktop PC with liquid cooling. Inspired by visual elements of Max's Interceptor and the Mad Max World. ...and maybe Fury Road. There shall be rust and maybe even a Detonator attached to the PC? (lol). I'll be sharing highlights of it's progression stages, including video clip links as I move along in this thread. I have a basic idea of what PC hardware components will occupy this mad max inspired PC (motherboard, CPU, DDR, GPU, SSD, PSU) The case is an Enermax Equlilence they donated to me last year.  If you've followed my past personal builds, I like to find good deals on hardware whenever possible I do plan to fabricate the liquid cooling lines from 361 marine grade stainless tubing. No idea what brand of CPU & GPU water blocks, radiators and fittings I'll use yet. 
 

 

 
The case is the Enermax Equilence I was given. 
 

 
I apologize in advance if you're expecting me to pose a Mad Max action figure inside the case (haha). The Interceptor's V8 feels more appropriate. The scale Ford engine I'm using is by LIBERTY Classics, http://www.libertyclassics.com/
 

 

 
I've added motorized shaft to spin the supercharger belt, you can watch it here, https://twitter.com/Mnpctech/status/992023385818492928
 

 
I've modified the supercharger pulleys with larger plates to keep the belt from rolling off.
 

 
90 degree 24 pin motherboard connector, https://mnpctech.com/case-mods-gaming-pc-liquid-modding-custom-computer-mnpctech-overclock-cooling-fan-grills/90-degree-angle-24-pin-atx-connector-for-motherboard-mainboard.html
 

 
I will be fabricating a new engine scoop to emulate Max's Scott Injector Scoop and painting everything dark grey.

No progress to share today, but my friend Stu came by to share his Dota 2 PC build. A combination of a scratch build and PC case mod. He used Fractal Design's NODE 304 as the core inside this amazing wood crafted treasure chest,  
 

Thank you Christophe!
 
Out of curiosity I grabbed this Vertical GPU bracket to see how the GPU looks in front of the Enermax chassis. Hmmmmm

 

 

 

 
 

Thank you! Details are the fun part for me! Scoop done, Everything on the engine needs to be painted Dark Silver Aluminum

this is for whoever asked if I keep the factory fans I remove from cases... This is just personal inventory at the workshop
