And this is the inter cage that the mdf attaches to. 1.5 x 1.5 with welded nuts. It should make it pretty sturdy.

Turn up the heat!!!!!!!! It's only 60 in there. Just Kidding.
Looks good, I would like to see how it turns out.

Looking at the air box it looks like there are holes on both sides. Are you going to mount motors opposing each other in there?

I too would be interested in how the flow works inside the box.
Very nice work. The steel framework is great. You might need a support in the center of the panels though as the forces can get pretty high.

4 motors will be mounted on each side.
The blue and black ring is a 4' toliet ring available at Lowe's or Home Depot, it's supposed to be self sealing, but you'll see how I will take care of that in later photos.
As for support between the motors, I'll see if that will be necessay when I get it up and running, that's why I made the panels removeable.

So Peter, can I assume that the drums will be inside the box and the windings will go through the hole and discharge the air to the outside?

Correct, I'm only doing intake to start, intake and exhaust will be later.

Here is my valve assembly, I got this idea from bruce's bench.
It will mount just in front of the air box.
