Just need to clean up a few welds I rushed through and rattle can some primer and paint. Have some ideas for a way to hold the case half horizontal to assemble the bottom end. That'll be next.

Push them half way in and it holds like a champ. Didn't fall over once when assembling the top end.

And it took Michaelangelo 4 years to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. If he'd used a roller he could have been done in a few weeks.

Sometimes its about taking time to make something nice just because it is nice.

It appears to hold the entire case in place after assembly. I must have bruised a few EGO trippers here. Don't trip over your EGO!

The half case should be easy , a plate cut out to the shape of case with 1" tall pegs at lower 4 motor mount bolts. Simple lay the left case on first , install crank,counter balancer & trans , then right case. Then into your other mount. Simple no bolts , just use that free and abundant Gravity !
Might need some spacers I'm not sure if all the mount are the same width.
