Cost optimized, yes but I really want to provide the best I can for him in the mechanicals. My son is going to build the frame and suspension ground up after
he designs it in Autodesk Inventor. I am VP of technology at
www.lasercutting.com One thing for sure it will have a lot of laser cut parts when done. He worked for me in programing for a year and 2 years in the industrial fab shop.
I bought him Inventor years back instead of sending him to collage. Sorry for all the info and gab, just really excited for him to have anything like a GT40.
At least with him building it he will know his car and had to work for it. It's beginning to look like there is nothing cheap about doing this. I have already spent $18,000
and just have a pile of parts and a Valkyrie needing everything.
