OK, Made me a wood template, and now to get a press and start working it into shape...
been around the block to many shops and places, no one wants to work on it :(
will be a learning curve and experience for me

well bought a new tool this past week
HF 20 Ton Shop Press

unpacked and put it all together in a day. Bought the Bolt together version :)

YES I put it on Casters, Rated to support more that the weight of the press !! makes it easier to maneuver it around to work with it, since i have a small garage and the car is in the garage.

I decided to design and 3d print me a custom handle for the Release Valve vs fighting with the jack handle.  man does it make a difference and a hole lot easier to work !!

Started learning HOW to use the press and what it does based on where you PRESS.

got one side pretty close to what i am working on against my template

an hour or so of work and learning :)

another hour or two last night on the press
getting the front bracket closer to net shape

also messed around with the starting crank, since it had a bend in it two directions...

a few before and a few after
