Wow, simply wow.

I'm a techno weenie. I know how to milk a cow (without any aids) and pound nails (although I use an air nailer now).

Along the way I spent lots of time watching people do things. I love to watch people do things they do well. I learn from them.

I would LOVE to spend time with those guys doing that aluminum work. It's awesome seeing the end product in #1 (and that is exactly what the one I saw being trucked into SAI looked like). Note that this was NOT a finished product. Once it got to Vegas it had to be polished down so it could be painted.

The painted body on the one I saw at Barrett Jackson a few years ago looked like a perfect balloon. You know there are no flat surfaces on a Cobra. But the curves on this car were absolutely perfectly shaped - no flat spots anywhere.

By the way, the Kirkham and Shelby CSX4000 cars look that way too.

So I want to watch aluminum fabrication. Now that I live in Vegas maybe I'll get a pass to tine inner sanctum...
