Well I finally got a chance to do some more work on my case the past couple days, it's still nowhere near complete but I've got the rad in properly and the first color of paint applied...it's starting to look pretty good imo.

Some more pics of just how tight a fit it is...I just barely fit it behind the tab for that foot, thought I'd have to remove it and the fillport has a VERY tight clearance:

) that I plan on fixing tomorrow. I was pretty anxious removing the tape but it came off pretty clean. Here it is all put back together:
That's pretty much it for now, stay tuned though cause I've still got to make the faceplate and finish the paint...that doesn't include the actual (re)build with w/c components either (which I still haven't ordered
)
Oh and if you haven't figured out the reasoning behind the name yet then you're hopeless
