Very very cool F*ckin Fast. What kind of beer produces the best CAD results? More importantly, what metal/alloy are the blanks made of? Surely you have a video of the machining in process, right?

We have a number of engineers on staff, ranging from mechanical, to engineering physicists, to seismologists et al...

Beer goes a long way with the younger folks.

No pics of the machining, done off site.

Of course the wheels are nice, but I'm pretty sure I already told you that offline...

Super excited to see them mounted on the car...

You should post a small video of the Inconel exhaust just doing its thing....

Admittedly, it sounds much better to under load....

Talking tyres now....

Yesterday, received a set of JRZ RS Pro coilovers that I bought used. I stripped them, packed them, and got them out in the mail to Olsen Motorsports for a rebuild and to convert to 3-way. I am overly excited to get them back and installed!
