Its starting to remind me of a BMW Z4 only heaps nicer.

[DanFrederiksen]

in hindsight, would it have been better to have done all the design and changes in CAD and then have a mold company CNC it from the computer model?

[175myles]

Where is the fun in that?

[BaileyBlade]

Well of course the car is designed in CAD and so are the updates and changes. But having the car CNC the correct way would have cost us a lot money, estimated at $230K. Im not talking about the home made CNC routers people are using. You have to do just as much work with those.

[DanFrederiksen]

have you shopped around? I can easily imagine some company that does work for the autoindustry could come up with a random price like that but maybe look to smaller boatmakers. I have inquired about pricing for mold making from computer model of my spear body car design and there was a factor 7 span in the pricing from company to company.

btw, you need to segment your pieces don't you? or it wont be able to come out of the mold

[hqbeamer]

its looking very nice keep up the good work i certainly will be worth taking the time.

[nikunter]

Take as much time as you need Neil.

No one has one, so no one knows they they're missing... but they sure as shit know what they would like!

great work as always. keep it up!

[guslingus]

Take one day at a time. Hey are you going to get it to a mirror finish before you mould it?

[BaileyBlade]

Yeah once the body lines are finished and everything is designed. we will paint with a mirror finish. then take to mold shop.

[TheEnDBG]

Finally some update. It's going to look great.
