Today was focused on getting the subframe spacers done.
I'm a member of the local EAA (Experimental Aircraft Association) chapter and they have a couple of lathes at the hangar that are available to members, so I was able to go down there and log some lathe time.
They will never win a machinist award, but they are functional. I made them a little more than 1/2" but I can just turn the shoulder a bit if I end up with better hood clearance than I'm anticipating.
