By going the completely hand-made approach by such a skilled craftsman we are producing a much higher quality aluminium body than our competitors have with their pressed section bodies.

Which means much cheaper and easier brushed and polished finish if desired. Also means cheaper to paint as less prep work needed.

Also has the cool factory have a completely hand-made body.

Then we have stepped it up on the mounting technology used. The aluminium body will be supported by an infused epoxy carbon frame structure that mounts to our aluminium chassis. The body surface itself is only contacted in the same sort of areas if you were using a steel frame.

The aluminium body is also removable, so you can assemble the kit without the body attached as per our composite carbon body versions.

Albanycobra has been a pleasure to deal with, he knows we are trying to achieve something pretty special and his patience at being our first Alumina customer will be rewarded. Plus we gave Albanycobra an incredible deal to work with us on the first one.

Whilst I agree it certainly has a cool factor, and the body is looking just awesome, Im curious how a hand formed panel can be more accurate than one formed in a press or stretched over a die. Aren't the press and die perfect in shape and create perfectly repeatable panels? Not having a go, just curious.
