Again, on the front lower control arm in the above picture you can see we milled the crotch of the control arm in one motion so the cutter wouldn't stop and make an ugly mark 1/2 way through the arm. We were very concerned about the tool paths on the parts and that they looked good.

I think this car needs a "flip-top" body to show off the suspension!

No sidepipes on this jewel, huh?
I now see the body of Raquel Welch...with the face of Janet Reno.
(EDIT: And, yes, I hope the owner writing the million dollar checks reads that!) |

Refreshing to read that a guy with that much money also has excellent taste and doesn't want to muck up that gorgeous body shape with bits and do-dads hanging off it.
Not if we can get him to ditch the rollbar and QJs.

Keep teasing us like this and the next time you go into your office someone will have installed a brass pole. |

The amount of (global) magazine coverage that this car could receive is boundless.

Does anyone think that it is an accident that the coupe is in the background of that last picture?

No accident. It just hangs around until we can get around to making it!

I thought just maybe you were fitting it up to this chassis so it would be ready for the "next one".....

No, the next one has nothing to do with Cobras, Shelby, Hot Rods, or the 60's. It is a jewel for this century.

Great Job David. True toolmaker wookmanship. Are you going to leave the cutter marks or polish them out. I think it looks good leaving the cutter marks.

carmine,
Thanks for the kind words!
On the control arms we will probably polish them to a mirror finish. But, I agree, I think the tool paths look pretty cool too.
