no wonder my project truck isn't done yet. haha.
starter is gutted and the body shortened so shaft would stick through the rear end of it in order for the drill to grab on. variable speed low rpm drill. 1/2" is overkill but most 3/8 or 1/4" ones run too fast plus they wouldn't fit the shaft size of the starter in their chuck. this was before I invested in a cordless drill set. maybe upgrade that mount to fit the cordless drill one day. it's a heavy thing but it works.

that looks legit, I wonder if you could run the starter directly with a potentiometer aka a pot and skip the drill using DC of course or if you could just throw a gear on the drill and skip the starter
