Very nice, I just finished mine last night. looks like the same light too.
Edit
Without the cool bottom button though. Put a side button in and the original bottom button shuts the whole thing off.

The efest battery cost more than the entire mod , Ok here we go ill try to explain how I did it best I can.
The 510 connection has a roller bearing covered in wire shrink wrap then shoved into the connection making the positive, then the 510 I placed into a washer that had a tight fit, that is when I press fit the entire washer into the top of the flash light
The bottom switch was pretty easy I removed the existing switch and got a nylon washer and ground it Down to make it beveled that way the brass screw would be set inside the nylon while not being fired underneath the nylon I place the spring over a tee nut with two washers on top ( I have to find something a little cleaner for the design) then I press the entire assembly together and screw the pieces together. When the battery is in place the switch actually becomes resistant otherwise it's kind of all over the place, let me know if u have anymore questions

There is no locking mechanism by the way but literally there really is no way to fire it unless you want to with the spring that I used for it
Nice work. You might like hanging out in the battery mods sub forum if you haven't discovered it yet.
It could be the next big thing. Also, your user name, Shatkinov, is perfect for a mod name. The Shatkinov Mod. Sounds as good as Caravela, Avenger, Sentinel, Chi You, or whatever else. People making mods in their garage will start to call them Shatkinov, or "Shats." "Hey man, nice Shat." or when they are going out, and picking a mod to take with them- "I think I'll take a Shat." Sounds good huh? I'll take a 10% cut of your sales for the idea. Thank you.
Oh and +10000 for a tutorial.
Joking aside, it's awesome!
