another note to self, I have to increase the door jamb size from 1/16" to something more noticeable.

I increased the jamb sizes, hopefully this will be noticeable.

Alright, so normally during the weekends I rarely have time to model anything, but this weekend I managed to take a few minutes today to model the rear of the engine...
I'm not 100% satisfied but it's a good shell to work from:
