IT RUNS! Building My 2006 NASCAR Monte Carlo: Dodge R5P7 First Startup! (Oil Lines and Wiring)

What happens here

The creator installs a mesh screen into the newly cut lower radiator opening. He used calipers to scribe a line for rivet placement, marking off points at 2.5-inch intervals. He drills holes and rivets the screen in place, using backing washers on the bottom rivets to prevent them from pulling out if hit by debris.

Goal: Secure a mesh screen in the lower radiator opening.

  • Calipers — Scribing lines and measuring
  • Drill — Drilling holes for rivets

have was configured so that's what I referenced dang why is this foggy better just realized I forgot to show what I was doing before I was done barely caught myself I'm putting in the lower mesh screen here and again modeling it after that one cuz I know that way works what I did you can see what is left here is I taped this whole perimeter and I took calipers I set them at half an inch or whatever and I just kind of scribed a line the whole way around the tape and then I marked top and bottom center figured out where the end ones are going to go measure the distance between them divided that by three figured out need to be spaced 2 and a half apart so that's what I marked out on the tape dot Soler on the perimeter then I drilled all those holes and now I am riveting this in and for the bottom ones I'm using these backing washers so that it doesn't pull out with uh if it hits something cuz these these rivets will hold this screen in but you know if I hit a you know a piece of debris or a big rock or something like that that extra bit of holding in there would maybe keep this from busting out
