I've done a similar operation (only once) on my horizontal but on a MUCH smaller and much less awkwardly shaped part, great job of creative thinking !
Another useful application for a horizontal mill is to use it as a lathe. Works well for large faceplate work + brake drums, connecting rods, flywheels, anything that your normal lathe won't swing and is not too long.
