That is a thing of beauty and worthy of being in any art gallery.

How CNC has changed what we can do.

yes very clever stuff, I used to work for a cnc shop amazing to see these machines working ,but not as clever as the guy who wrote the program for the machine ,a 0 or decimal point in the wrong place and it all ends in a big mess .

The cars in the vid look pretty amazing as well......take it they're all aluminium but never seen finished cars look like those!!!

Kirkham has a deal along with Hawk in the UK who are their agents to sell the bodies. These are hand made in a Polish factory that used to make Mig fighters. After the cold war they were looking for other avenues and this is one of them.

I have seen these in the flesh and they are quite stunning, but very expensive.
