Stage 2 GN build

Yeah, it did eat up quite a bit of room, but I'll fit it all in there. The shroud only added 2.25" more than just the fan bolted to the radiator. Because it's tapered, when I build the charge tubes I'll route them beside the fan. They will probably only stick out as far as the back of the fan.

"whipped this out last night", no big deal. Jeez, your skill kills me brother! Looks amazing! Love the thought and detail on the mounting brackets instead of just welding some flat stock on there. Very nicely done.

Nice work Mike.
It did only take a few hours of actual work. But I've drawn it in Autocad 6 times over the last few weeks. I had the patterns waterjet cut, so all I had to do was bend it and weld it. Aluminum welding can go pretty quick. The miller diversion welder I have makes aluminum pretty easy.

Mike,
You and I need to trade some services. I don't weld and you don't have access to CNC...
Can you see where I'm going with this???
We could make some totally insane parts together!!!
Your build is awesome!

You are correct, I need someone with a cnc to make a few parts. I was having the local shop water jet cut flanges and they screwed a part up and I didn't find out until it was welded into an oil pan and shipped to canada. Now I'm remaking it and machining everything by hand.
Do you have a lathe with a 1/2" hex collet? I need a batch of fittings made.

You picked the one machine we do not have. We do no round work. Its all subbed out to other shops. I have a lather chuck that mounts on a mill table and we can machine things round. You have my email. Send me a jpg of what your needing.
Back to work on my car and I'm not stopping until it runs.
I got all the belt drive and front accessory parts setup so I can start making brackets. I also made yet another set of sheetmetal valve covers (I'm keeping these).
I got my fuelab fuel pump mounted.
A co-worker gave me a th400 core and I've slowly been gather parts for a spare trans. This one is probably better than the one in the car now, but I'm trying a few things different with this one.

I could use two more tranny catch pans.
Crap, I got your PM and meant to check on material but forgot. If you remember what I made the last one for, double it and send paypal to edwardsmt@gmail.com . I'll have to order some more tube so it might take a little while.
