Your work is probably significantly closer to machine cut than mine.

Drew up the brackets. Had them cut.

Here is a video of them in action. I think I would do them a bit different next time but they will work well enough (I hope).

Picked up this little fixture table off a company on Instagram (Dayton CNC). Was really cheap ($125) and seems to be high quality. Its small 6''x12'' but I figure Ill put it to good use some how.

Went to drive it tonight after being out of town and decided to look it all over first...

Universal coolant apparently doesnt work with dexcool. I didnt flush the engine before I hooked it all up. The rest of the system is new. I spend an hour or so flushing it with the hose. I ordered some radiator flush and will start again tomorrow. Ugh.
