Default Fab work

Hehe, I need some break-in miles and a lot of solo time before I'll attempt any stunt driving with a passenger, but I'll drive folks around in it sanely, sure. I'm honestly very afraid of this thing. The first time I fired it, it became clear who was boss.

Some of the stuff I did myself using equipment at work. Some of it I did in my garage at home. Some of it I farmed out to water-jet shops. Some of it I had cut on a buddy's CNC machine in up in Oregon (I'm half owner).

The long-block was built at Mustang Ranch in Santa Clara; it was a team effort of several people. The 4-bolt main conversion, block prep, align-hone, and other critical stuff was done by Teddy/Techcraft (now Craig Hill owns them, right?). Some of the chassis fab work like the trans mounts and engine mounts and dropping the big parts into the chassis was done there as well.

Advanced waterjet in San Jose cut the flat engine plates for the blower drive from my cad input.

Design-It Prototype cut the EFI intake adapter elbow from my cad input. That was work in trade; I did efi work for them.

Shumway Machine in Oregon cut the brake parts from my cad input.

Advanced Circuits did the PCB Fabs from my cad input.

Most of the rest of it was done at home in my 2-car garage or at work where I have access to a machine shop.

I'll be soliciting help again to hang the doors. Then again for body/paint, and lastly interior.
