Commodore 64 case

Post by **Sparkfist** » Sat Jul 26, 2008 10:43 pm

Ok guys I have a commodore 64 case that I'd like to hack apart and use. But I have a few questions.

1. Can I use a jig saw to cut the case? Or should I use a Dremel?

2.Bondo? Never used it, but I read I should get the mix kind, right?

3.Best plastic to use a filler? As I'm obviously going to have a big hole I need to fill. What kind of plastic should I buy or can I cannibalized some of the case?... yeah really cheap like.

Thanks for the replies guys.

My recommendation for cutting it would be a hack saw. Jig saw would be a bit too rough I'd think.

Actually this is something like what I want. As I don't have the Data20, I'm going to use a Commodre 64 case I have.

Gannon, I don't have a hacksaw. I'm going to see if I can do it anyways. I'll just set it up at a slow speed with tape over the line, and hopefully they wont tare it up or worse melt. If it comes to that, I'll either brake down and buy a hacksaw (best idea) or metal cutting blades for my jigsaw.

I'll likely be back in a few days asking about bondo, and paint colors.
