Finished match drilling firewall #2 - 4 hours

Never missing an opportunity to drill on the drill press whenever I can. I match drilled as much of the #30 holes on the drill press that I could. Yes a slow process....but they are perfect.



I am pondering drilling pilot holes for the engine mounts now as it is incredibly easy to do on a drill press now.A few things come to mind about doing it now; 1. The firewall has pilot holes for the engine mount already. 2. It is extremely easy to drill those pilot holes on a drill press now before I mount the firewall to the fuse. 3. According to some build logs, it seems folks have used the firewall pilot holes as a mounting point for the rotisserie. 4. I really, really don't want to try and drill those holes by hand down the road.

Before I do anything I will pose the question to the builders group to see what the general consensus is.

I finished the rest of the match drilling using the palm drill and the ATS drill guide.

All I need to do now is countersink the angles, debur and clean things up and I will be back on track!
