pheatonforums.com is gone, but the 1st page of the project journal is on archive.org: http://web.archive.org/web/20031011104839/http://www.pheaton...

The directory of photos is still available: http://planetcasemod.com/NeXT/ http://planetcasemod.com/NeXT/Polish/bathroom.JPG http://planetcasemod.com/NeXT/Polish/done1.JPG
