Modding a Kmart Digicam to take C mount lenses Part 1

I had a wonderful idea the other day to mod my cheap Kmart digicam to take C mount camera lenses because that sounds really fun. It certainly wasn't going to improve the quality of the sensor because it is already a shitty 1/6" 720p mess. But it so far has been very fun.
