Million Dollar Skunksworks Kirkham

[David Kirkham]

I'll post a vid. We are actually bending the doors right now.

You certainly can bend all the single arcs separately and then weld them together into a 3D structure. The original car, however, was not done that way. Even though in Poland we bend the tubes by hand, we don't do it that way either. We have enough experience to know where to bend the tubes all in one piece. Of course, with machines like this hand-bending days are numbered across the planet. It just costs too much to train a worker who is skilled enough to do these sorts of things. Also, a CNC machine will ALWAYS make a nicer piece than even the most skilled worker.
