Yeah, & the worst hack in Splitdom, besides the wheel wells being cut out,
is to cut in a hatch over the engine to access the AC engine? I've seen
restos where they have patched in the hole to make it stock. Nope, thinking
more, the bulkhead removal to make a walk thru is the worst!

Tom-don't need no access panel to work on a upright engine, just need 4'
long arms.
