One day I want to go diving in a cage and see a Great White. One of my life's goals.
Along with a few more on my list:
Seeing a Mountain Gorilla in Rwanda
Playing Chopin's 1st Ballade in G minor
building a tree house with my kids (1/2 way through that one)
visiting Kruger National Park and seeing a lion, elephant and a rhino with my wife and kids
visiting the Galapagos Islands with my wife and kids
climbing the Grand Teton (again) but this time with kids (whoever wants to)
and a few more things I will save for later...

I have great news!!!!
You can make the cage out of billet!

Great White Shark Cages
Custom-built shark cages are 10' x 7' x 5' and are constructed of marine grade aluminum. All cages are 100% precision welded by certified welders. Large entry hatches with doors open and close easily to allow divers to safely enter and exit. All cages float at the water's surface – at no time are the cages submerged meaning divers can come and go as necessary. In addition, all shark cages have large viewing windows for unobstructed photos.
I'd trust a cage out of billet a whole bunch more! Maybe I'll give em a ring. When I take the plunge, I'm going to take Jamo with me and see if he squeals under water as well.
OMG!!! I just caught up with the last 10 pages, I never thought when I mentioned video taping this thing it would come out as great as it has. The videos have brought an entirely new perspective to everything and things just get better and better. Can't wait to see the next one and keep on checking off the list of what you want to do. One of mine is owning a cobra and now it is driving it under 10 seconds down the quarter mile.
Keep on having as much fun as you can because it is going by so fast!!!
Thanks for the little pieces of enjoyment you give all the rest of us on this car.

Glad you like it! We will be posting more video as soon as possible. Great idea!
No problem. The chance of someone else also bringing their own shark is very low.
Oops!

Now, the video you have all been waiting for...how we actually MAKE a car.
Remember, you can click on the link for high resolution of the video. For those of you who want to know how to pound aluminum, here is the first (of many, I hope) videos. Notice we work in SMALL increments. Aluminum will do anything you ask it to do (just look at the crazy reverse curves of a Cobra) IF you ask it nicely.
We probably have 20 nylon and urethane hammers around here. I don't use them very much because they are very hard to control precisely. I know that doesn't look like precise work, but the work area was very tight and we needed the mass, impulse, and small physical size of a metal hammer to get in there.
You are right, they don't moon the metal like a steel hammer; but, then again, they don't move metal like a steel hammer either.
