Okay Gang;

I decided to go the extra mile on the Bellhousing and do a "Construction 3D Solid Model" (Georgie is going to love this)....Let me backup a little and explain what this is....My preference is to design in 2D 5 views,  this is by no means unique, as most of the world does the same, hence why AutoCad is so popular and bountyfull in engineering dep'ts worldwide, I personally dislike doing Solid Modeling and try to keep away from it, even though I'm very proficient and master the 2 top programs....I only do Solid Modeling for 2 different scenarios, Dog and Pony shows (Show and tells)....And to prove/check a Construction proceedure prior to POC (Proof Of Concept) submission. The major rule I follow on the latter is that it must be constructed from 2D detailed drawings to the "T"....Hence, the "Construction 3D Solid Model" performs 2 very important mayor functions, it scrubs the 2D detailed drawings and cuts the chances of screwing up the very, very expensive POC not to mention the
schedule/production slot and reputation.

So George the pressure is on, I'm taking away all the excuses :)

I've taken the Model up to this point (see attachments) and paused, until I resolve the Starter situation at 6 o'clock with some R&D, the same way I resolved the 3 & 9 positions....I'll report on this later on.

Long ass flight after a long ass day and I must get a few hours of sleep before we land.

Nice job on the 3D's Butch.
