Buttercup gets tanked.

Coolant recovery tank that is.
Since I have the radiator fan thermostat probe in the top tank of the radiator, I have to be sure the radiator stays full at all times. The solution is a coolant recovery tank.
I dug out my CAD and fabricobbled one.





After sorta finishing it I decided it probably wouldn't hold water. So I took my fabricobbled mess up to my favorite aluminum fabricators, Wayne's Industrial, Douglasville, Ga. (formally Precision Race Cars).
Waited a couple days and went and picked it up.
It's nice, and it's nice to know some REAL fabricators.





More pictures after it's mounted.

Got it installed. Whew. This is hard work. I think I'll take the rest of the day off.

WOW, way to make my Amazon purchased tank look cheap and pathetic.
You sir, are a true fabricator! Nice work.

Not true. I think you missed the part where I said I had someone else make it.

[DTHolder]

I did miss that.
Correction: you're a genius for thinking it up and getting someone else to do the work.

Those welds are darn near decorative in their beauty.

I agree. The guy that did this is an artist with a tig. Welding aluminium is all he does. 8 hours a day. 5 days a week. Must be a very boring job for him but the results are fantastic.
