This is the most relevant bit:

I've completed the most difficult portion of the hack! / install a 6360/6500 MoBo / in an actual Classic . . .
This pic shows how I've joined the inverted 6500 MoBo slide/mounting plate to what little remains of the Classic Chassis.

If I were to do this hack without the Cellar Expansion Bay, I'd make sure to shore up those heavily rework hardened slot arms so the 6360/6500/1 slot riser MoBo could be slid in-n-out with impunity.
