Thanks for the warm welcome! I had an elaborate opening post to make but kept getting denied.
So, I am a car guy with modest welding and fabrication skills. I hope to be able to use some of them on my first and current project. Picked up cheap from a coworker, and after doing some research on this forum discovered my suspicion confirmed, it's an import, and it's an APC mini chopper... let the flames begin!
Kidding aside, ultimately I plan to use it as a tool to make something much nicer later on. Perhaps a scratch build.
