Finally bit the bullet and milled the frame of my P2K GP7 to add a Tsunami decoder and speaker.
I have a Shapeoko 3 CNC router/mill, but mainly use it for wood and foam. This was pretty much the first metal I've milled in it. It came out fine, but I had to stop and adjust the process a couple of times.
I milled off the screw bosses where the PC board was mounted and took a little bit more off there, then I removed a bunch of the nose to fit a speaker in it. I should have weighed the frame before and after, but didn't think of it until now. Oh well.
Edited to add: Here is the frame all milled and deburred.
I'll post more photos as I get it all wired up.
