Part of me wants it to be a flipped picture and the other part of me wants it to actually be like it appears.

It was an endplay issue. He fabricated that to limp him through a weekend trip and then rebuilt the motor after. It's a great build thread and a really nice bug. He started on it when he was a kid... pan off restoration. Creative short term solution that actually worked!
