$10K? Ha, we drive BMW's, that barely gets us a suspension refresh. I could say that and only get one VANOS side redone.
Right? loL $10K probably includes the price of the car and the chrome trim upgrades

I pissed myself the first time I watched that. They have some serious balls for that. I laughed so hard!

That is awesome!!! This is great work, make sure to use this sort of stuff on your resume in the future, employers would be very impressed. Are those bronze bushings in the steering kingpin? What kind of top speed are you expecting from the vehicle? Does the driver wear a helmet?
-
It's a multi-piece assembly, the inner shaft is steel, the top retainer is steel, the spacer is aluminum, the bushings are brass, and the sleeve part that the kingpin got welded too was steel.
Top speed at this point will probably be about 30, but the gearing is all modular so swapping it out is a breeze. Yes, helmets are worn.
