Well then....
I took my ass over to NorCal_Chris's house.
He made this sweet contraption, and then cut me a perfect 16" fan hole.
Thanks Chris!!!
Too cool.
Like a glove!!!!
That fitment....
Gonna make the "sides" and tack em on.
My pipefitter buddy is gonna Tig the whole perimeter.
Expect some Weld Porn, in the next couple days.

NorCalKid, If you wanna have him Tig yours, he will.
Just let me know, and I'll have him do it.
He's an amazing welder, and a showoff.
So, he 'll do it, just to have welded it.

Thanks.... And

Then, get the correct master cylinder.
Then, buy new yokes and tube, and make my driveshaft.
Just dealt with the vacuum connection crap, today.
Coolant, Diff oil, and Gas are on standby...
I actually have a little knock off 110 miller tig. Only really messed with stainless so far, maybe the shroud will be an excuse to bust it out

Nice shroudage.

Thanks.
I was too impatient to wait for the shroud to be Tig'd....
I have a free day today, so I need to use it.
So, with the exception of paint and a Relay Bracket, the shroud is done.
Gotta love a 180A welder, on 18 Gauge... With the machine as low as possible, its still HOT.
100% Radiator coverage...
Dont look too bad, if Ido say so, myself.
I'm chuckling at it being marked "TOP", as in with quotes. It's like the top, but not really?
Anyway, when I did my bumpers, for instance, I marked my left-right stuff "DRIVE" and "PASS", as it's easy to get the two sides confused depending on which way you're facing.
My buddy of course sees the "PASS" one, and says "Lordie, I hope it passed ... I'd hate to see 'FAIL' on there!"
And no, Mike, you don't need to remind me about my drunken-monkey welding.

I say "driver" and "Passenger" for everything too. Motorcycles, atvs, boats, cars, bicycles, you name it. It's always right, no mater what. Comes in handy spotting too

Damn... Ive been busy lately.
Doing nothing but Xmas shopping, and building Smokers.
My Smokers have taken off.
So, Ive been totally consumed with them, as of late.
Doing small business stuff, too.
After I fill this first order, ill get back to building the C/10.
Sould have some pretty decent spare cash then, too.
