Duh. I knew that but forgot. I swear I'm losing my mind. I have 2 right angle air grinders that for the life of me I can't find. Driving me!!!!

Go buy a 3rd. Put it away in a spot where "you won't lose this one". Once you do that, you'll find the other two. Pretty sure that's how it works

Yep. You need to appease the tool gods by offering another sacrifice.

Just start looking for a left angle grinder then you'll find the right angle ones cause everyon knows you only find what you're not looking for.

A little progress. Finished up the inner fender welding in patches then some all metal. Got the actual fender down to bare metal.

Looks like there was a little dinger in the past. Holes where they pulled it but never welded. I'll weld those up along with the holes for the chrome trim I'm not using then it's epoxy primer time after some hammer and dolly work

So finally have installed mounts for radiator and fans. I did it 3 times because third time is a charm. And first 2 just didn't work or look that great. Not that this is artisan metal fab here.
Anyhow, I'd like to know how much room I will have in the area in front of the radiator? Depending where I measure there is between 2.5 and over 3 inches. Towards the top left I will install trans cooler but I'm also going to have steering cooler and condenser. Without the front on the car I really don't know how much room I have in that area. My whole front clip and bumper are buried now and I don't think I would be able to lift it into place alone.

Hey Tony, keep in mind to have room for the hood safety catch. I had to remove my safety catch because it was hitting the trans cooler. I know not the smartest idea, but moving the cooler is a real PITA right now.

Yes I was thinking about that. I believe it's pretty much dead center correct?
And thank you!
