took the car outside to get a good view of it and to turn it around to work on the right rear fender and rear roll pan




radiator mount 2 by joa kwin, on Flickr

I made a new radiator mount, I put a hole in the alloy rad I had, so I changed to a stock style radiator thats alittle wider then the alloy rad I had

so I had to make new lower and top mounts

I haven't made a e-fan mount yet, I have a 10 inch e-fan but I was thinking about going with a 12 or 14 inch, but I haven't ordered it yet
so I cant run the car to long without a fan

I'm in the process of buying this tool, I'm having my brother and dad pick it up for me, and then I will drive out to San Diego in a few weeks to bring it home to Tucson AZ


I was looking at a sieg x2, but I think this machine is alittle bit bigger and stronger, and it looks to be in pretty good shape


I dont know much about mills, but I plan to use this to learn, have to start somewhere
