cobred,
Great idea! We will get some videos for our next track event...maybe even as close as October! We are hooked.
brobehr,
Thanks for the kind words! I hope you didn't fall asleep in class!
big-boss,
We have struggled with coatings and protection, etc. They work great IF they are done right and they don't get scratched. One of the BIG reasons we went to 17-4 was because it is so corrosion resistant and we don't have to use coatings. Coatings slow down the production process as you have to wait for the coating guys to get it done--which can take many days. Shipping dings the parts, UPS eats them, who knows what happens in shipping BOTH ways! Many coatings mess with dimensional tolerances. When you are tying to hold 0.0002-0.0005 inches the coating will screw you up. All and all, they don't work for us. I would rather pay more for the billet and then have EXACTLY what I want when I am done.
We are trying to make them more high tech as we go...
John,
You are kind. I can only see because of the graciousness of others who showed me. Mike McCluskey being foremost on the list.
CobraDan,
I have NEVER seen rust like rust in Florida! I am surprised they even have cars more than 5 years old. I once saw an old 1969 Shelby that the ROOF was rusted out on! Beware of cars from Florida!
Jac Mac,
There is more to come. Eventually you get to the point where you modify and modify but are constrained by the original design and you need to cut bait and start with a fresh piece of paper. We are now at that point...
