Yes, just push the button now...  
I wish running a CNC were that easy!
As for slipping a "new chassis" under one of our earlier cars--not going to happen. Way too much work. It would be easier to just start over fresh and new. You are right on the Lego set thing. We did it that way on purpose. We were very careful when we made it so that it would be easy to put together. We spent a LOT of time programming the machines to do all of the hard work. When the parts come out, we pretty much just bolt it together.
If the customer doesn't care, then I think we may start making a few more of these. We won't know until delivery, however, what he wants to do. Of course, that depends on whether or not customers want a billet chassis instead of the original 4 inch chassis. Maybe I should post a poll???

OK, my tongue is out of my cheek now.
Seriously, you (meaning the whole crowd at the Skunkworks) are truly da bomb. Who else could pull off a technological tour de force like this, or would have the audacity to try?
Please keep posting photos every so often - it's a fascinating project!

If I keep posting pictures, your billable hours will go down! That may send you attorney types into cardiac arrest. Maybe in the interest of your health (and all the other lawyers on this site) I should suspend my photo posting so your deaths are not on my conscience.

Don't worry, we'll just raise our billing rates to make up for it.

You must have had complaints from my partners. OK, guys, I'll stop drooling over car porn and get back to work. Right after I raise my rates.
