Are these 5 axis machined? That's a fantastic price.

The 5 axis option actually proved more expensive (nearer $220 / pair). I've designed the parts so they can be machined all-over with at least a 1/2" diameter cutting tool - which can be run pretty fast The parts will be machined on one side and the fixing holes put in, then they'll be flipped and held-down by the same while machining the outer surfaces. Costs - A contributory factor is that shops are looking for work...

Sounds like the perfect time to do a bespoke gearshift knob, oil filler cap, fascia (that would accept a double-din DVD/GPS screen of course), etc

We'll see how this project works out first - The key is finding a smart machinist/programmer that makes an effort to minimize machining time without compromising quality and finish - sadly a scarce breed. The guy I'll be working with is an experienced race car industry guy - usually they're 'the right stuff'...

Could you take a pic of an Elan door and mock it up in Photoshop so we can guesstimate the aesthetic?

I think it's his current signature picture...

I don't have a green door with carbon escutcheons and red trim

Thanks, Elanlover, exactly what I was looking for.

Beautiful piece, but I'm not sure about the groove - how it doesn't meet up with anything on the door skin.

[F1 LOTUS]

Here you go...

The 'groove' kinda rolls the edge radius of the door around the trailing edge of the billet handle, admittedly it does look a bit harsh and doesn't blend perfectly in the visuals... Maybe I can tart-up the 3D prototype and take a snap of that?

Nothing that can't be fixed with a couple o' cans o' RustOleum spray paint...

Don't do anything too crazy on my account, that pic is exactly what I was hoping to see. Just have to think on it for a little while..
