That pod is absolutely awesome! That is exactly what I've been wanting, yet I still can't have it! I guess it's time to have my buddy teach me how to do this. Hey, what is the black glue you used in the pics for the first part of the process?

it's homemade abs goo lol...take abs shavings/pieces and dissolve in a close container of acetone. i bought ketchup like bottles to put it in. just make sure wutever bottle etc u use doesn't get dissolved with acetone.

i used 2inch abs pipe that can only be picked up for a plastics supply co or piping co i forget which one i got it from. then use some of that pipe ot make the abs shavings for the glue. body filler can be picked up from most places but i highly suggest you don't use bondo brand it's garbage.
