Judging from the "AFTER" photo your mill in NOT bolted to the floor. It it heavy enough that it can hold itself in place of its' own weight without your having to worry that is might start to walk across the room during a critical cut?
Good work!
Is the factory impeller steel? You might want to consider having the pulley and impeller hard coated for longevity. A good anodize will make it last a whole lot longer.
What are the plugs you are using to plug the heater connections?

I've nearly got the spring loaded tensioner set up finished. The new bracket is now acting as a bit of extra bracing for the alternator mount.

I had thought about anodising it but I figured I'd try it out and see if it works OK first.
I've been collecting all the parts to build a home anodizing plant. I've got some deep cycle batteries and a 48V DC rectifier and cabling. Now I've just got to sort out a tank, sulfuric acid and some lead for the anode. I also want to work out a way to cool the acid to do hard anodizing. The problem is making space to put everything. I've really got to tidy up my shed and throw out a bunch of junk to make some space.

DAMN!
What I wouldnt give for one of those machines. You could have ALOT of fun with one of those. Not to mention actually being able to build your own parts.
Great job on the impeller. and good looking setup you have going on the car.
