You should see the shark holding it...

LOL!!! Are they ill-tempered as well? 

Stock rad clears the trimmed up rails nicely.  Aside: the stock rads sure are beefy.  Were they meant to serve as a structural brace?
 

Are you going to use the stock rad?

Possibly!  They seem pretty stout.  Depends on the final engine configuration so I trimmed the rails to keep the option open.

Okay a little bit but Si/Bz is perfect for what you are doing right now,  joining thin ga metal without the heat warping.

Very good point actually.  Hadn’t really thought about it like that ....

Hey guys!

So I didn’t feel like welding today so I started bending a new lower rad support...

I started by forming the upper section from 18 Ga on the brake and by hand with the shrinker / stretcher ...

Next I cut and formed the lower section to match.  More bending, more shrinker/stretcher ....

 

 

 

More Clecos ...

PS.   Comparison to stock ...

and, of course, MORE LASERS! ?

Great work!!

Thanks Dr Dave!

So I got the inner wing stripped and ready to weld in the passenger rail ....

 

The battery area is bad, but not as bad as I initially thought....

 

This braised in patch has to go ....
