Did you machine the flat plate from billit. And how did you machine the square holes in the down tubes? I'd love to see the tooling for that process.

I am not sure what you mean "Did we machine the flat plate from billet." We machined the parts from plate aluminum that we bought.

The down tubes already have square holes in them because they are tubes. If you are asking if we machined the square holes down the tubes, then no, we just used aluminum tubing. But, I guess we could have machined the square holes if we would have wanted to. I am not sure answered your question???

Me thinks Mr Bruce is messing with you.

I'm not sure there was ever a claim that every single piece of the finished car will be made from billet aluminum, but perhaps that is what he thinks.

This car is incredible. It may look like a cobra when it is finished, but I think it is more in line with todays modern supercars under the skin. Very nice!!!
