After reading a few automotive articles involving extensive Bondo work, I have decided to try to build the case for this project out of Bondo. The stuff is super tough, easy to work with, molds well, and can be sanded and finished quite easily. It also drills really well and I am sure I can tap it for case screws as well.

I would also like to embed magnets into the case to allow it to stick to random surfaces so you could mount it as a dash cam or flashlight or something if needed. Would be a very handy tool for automotive work, as you could use the flashlight and checklist functions at the same time. Just turn on the light, bring up your transmission mounting checklist, and stick it to the frame somewhere.

Still very excited to finish this project up as it will be one of my largest projects and most useful. I should have plenty of time and funds available within the next two months and might be able to hammer it out pretty quick. Figured I'd provide a quick update for those following and write some quick ideas down.
