Default Thanks all!

Hey guys, I appreciate it.

The milling machine (and lathe) are my friend's machines. I do have my own mill, but it is much smaller and isn't CNC.

The design was done by a professional ... my friends and I are working from AutoCAD drawings that he provided. This suspension has been in the works for about a year now. It's almost done!

This is not a science project. John's car will run circles around a Z06.
