Ford big block starter misalignment/flywheel damage

This hot rod came to us for making an awful racket when starting. The starter had been installed wrong, causing the gear to crash into the flywheel and damage both the starter and flywheel. The flywheel is still usable; but the starter has been replaced and set up correctly – making sure no further damage is done.
