Default If Only We Could Make These Full Scale...

We just finished a set of 'centers' for a wind tunnel model of a car we are designing now.

I really need to go downstairs and see if I can bribe our machinists to make a set of these full scale

Slap a Ferrari logo on there, you can sell them for $1 million dollar, Ferrari guys will pay anything for anything with a Ferrari logo. Make up a story like... Schumarcher's training wheel when he was 2 years old, or something like that.
