That was pretty! Nice fabrication too. I would like to get good with metal like that. I also like how he has the fan. I think he had 1 ripple capacitor, though. For a car, you need a huge pile of them, and I'm not sure where you would put them. That was awesome! Very simple and clean. Whoever made that could really do some precision fabricating. Maybe an aluminum box isn't such a bad idea. The heat sink could be bolted directly to the box. hmm... I need to get some collets for the mill. Thanks Ben!
