Good luck with the CAD programs on your mac... everyone here at college with a mac has had a hard trouble installing "student" versions on theirs.
Thanks man, yes the body is pretty thin compared to the stratus.
No deep cut's though, used a brand new blade.
Only messed up cutting out the wheelarches.
Had the car on 'full short' wheelbase when I cut them out, in the meantime I switched suspensions, so when I put the body on today I was like 'WTF'.
I'm actually installing all the cad stuff under bootcamp, windows on a mac, only the install dvd which came with it doesn't work, and it's a pain in the a$$ to get a new one from Apple. Some service when you buy a $2000 laptop.

but the problem with titanium, you know about how hard it is to machine? lol
Ok, I think the first prototypes will be around $750-1000 a piece, you will also need the entire drivetrain, suspension, fueltank, and some small plastics from the NT1.
So, still interested?.
Yep, I know.
It's gonna cost me a lot of money.
Hope to have all my CNC operating certificates at the end of the year though, so I could use all the machinery at school.

The harder something is to machine, the more expensive it will get, that's the problem.
It isn't a problem to find a company who is able to do it, it is finding one who will do it and I can still afford it.
