And so it begins...the AP build.

For a change of pace, I decided to start cutting up a brand new Porsche trans. I’m gonna call the starter manufacturer to see how far the starter gear goes out to see how much more grinding is needed.
…And then back to finishing off the inner wheel wells.View attachment 147263View attachment 147264View attachment 147265View attachment 147266View attachment 147267View attachment 147268
Joe, I ended up just bolting the starter to the adapter and jumped it to a spare battery to see if there were any clearance issues. Yours looks deeper than mine but I can measure if you would like.

It’s amazing how long some of these individual projects can drag on. I started making mock up panels on Thanksgiving Day. Finally got the front panels tacked in today with epoxy. I’ll finish filling the remaining gaps after the first round sets up with the clam latched into place.

Rear clam is stiff enough now that I can open and close it by myself. All 4 locating pins hit at the same time. I’m going to use a single center hood pin for the top.
The rear hinge will now be 2 pieces, after I weld in the coupler. It was impossible to get in when it was 1 piece…and it will only get worse after I finish off the wheel wells with Raptor Liner.
