I will take a break from posting pictures right now (have to get some cars out) but I will comment on why we did what we did.
As many of you know, "Billet" has been the buzz word for a long time in the Hot Rod world. As I was talking to my customer back and forth, he literally asked me what I wanted to do. That is a very startling question. I have been in business now for around 14 years and have NEVER had a customer ask me that.
I suggested a billet aluminum block and (me and my big mouth) one thing led to another and the next thing I knew we were talking about titanium chassis, carbon fiber tubs, and all sorts of wild things. Well titanium is very hard to work, impossible to buy, and it really isn't that stiff when you are done. So we talked about carbon. He owns one of the best carbon fiber shops in the world. We talked about that and we decided for a street car, the engineering would be a bigger project than we wanted to tackle. Somehow I guess we were talking about the billet block and so I mentioned, "Hey, what about a billet aluminum chassis?" A billet aluminum chassis just sounded too cool to not try.
