I will email you when we get further along. We just finished the superplastic forming die for one of the rockers. We will be machining the other rocker shortly. We are almost done with the main body now. The last thing we have to do is the hood.
I'll post pics just as soon as I can.
Thanks!
David

I'll post pics tomorrow. We have just been so tied up with correcting mistakes and making tooling that we haven't had much time to post pics.
I want to post a build start to finish some time detailing how the car is made.

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but since David brought it up and jamo locked the old billet block thread, can we have an update on that too? How did Keith's buildup and dyno turn out? Has one been beaten like a rented mule yet? I may have to buy one just cause it's so bloody cool. I'm already buying parts in my head...custom moldex crank, carillo rods, jesel valvetrain...oh man, maybe a cammer! Somebody stop me, i'm outta control!  |

5 years ago...because somebody took it off topic.
There have been some threads on and off since then, along with a video link and a the one about the engine running in Sammich's car...recently posted with comments about sleeving.
I suggest you stay on topic without comment. No need to respond.

Mark,
The car is much further along than those photos. I'll post more soon.
Phil,
The block has many hard miles on it now. We are tweaking the design. Hope to have them out this year.

Thanks David I am looking forword to seeing them. By the way the quarter panel parts that I got from the scratch and dent sale with some minor changes and some minor changes to my buck I made It fit . It was a big help. The buck now looks better. I can also us the panel for a pattern to make the quarters for my car. Thanks again Mark

No, the real question is where can find $150,000 plus and engine and tranny.
And an even bigger question, when will the Kirkham's make magnesium Halibrands?  |
