Hmmm freebeard has a late in the month birthday.
If you tell me my dear mother's madien name, I will freak the F out.

So I took the factory tour agsin. It's two hour until Riverfont Park opens up. I found out the hard way.



Here they are making vacuum formed body panels. The yellow robot arm will soon be picking parts right out of the press and using a secondary form and CNC routers to trim the shape and add holes.

Here are the forms that blew my pea-brain the last time.



Does anyone know how much just one of the would cost? CNC milled or 3D printed. In any case it looks like they get two pair of fenders per pop.
