Not really asking for an actual price - just bench racing

Bowtieracing GO PACK YOURSELF

I want, we all want, to know the cost because just maybe I want to have a custom machined piece for my C5 differential and would like to know what it MIGHT cost.
Cost is always a factor, don't get me started on this subject.

Yes this is a 'hobby' ( that seems clear enough)

No this is not a 'bragging contest', the win a contest you must win something (like a trophy) and there is none of that going on here.

Bowtieracing, keep your .02 cents to your self. Maybe your other forums might be a better place to chime in with your asinine comments.

Whoa, let's take it easy my Lat brothers.

I'll get a price and see if he will make it available for order/modification if someone wants one for an upcoming project - and I think Mark will do that no problem. I'm stopping by there during lunch for the CAD/CAM files - I'll let you know. He might actually have it finished this morning. He built a recess jig last night so he could flip it over and do side b.

Cool it Mick, maybe i got it wrong. I personally feel uncomfortable posting what all cost. Speed costs money..:cheers:

:cheers:

Stopped by for a few minutes and did a screen print of the Cam file.

Mark is going to work up a cost for you guys if you want to buy direct from him. I'll let you know what it is tomorrow or Thursday.

Final came out pretty nice ! Not sure yet how I will finish it - powder, polish or anodize - we'll see. Last one is a quick polish to get the crud off.

Price if someone wants to purchase one from ADM is:

$210 machine time (4 hrs total at 2 hrs per side) plus the bar stock of $153 plus 20 bucks in supplies/fluids = $380.

I paid for the CAD drawing time, the CAM conversion time and the nesting fixture costs.

Nice parts!

The first (and sometimes the only) part is what costs. Having several made at one time obviously gives you economy-of-scale.

Keep up the great build..... and thanks for sharing (pics and relative costs).

Thanks for the info. Now I can tell how far my beer bugdet will go in custom machined parts.

I think I need to work on my AutoCad skills also. Maybe some creative skills too. You seem to have alot of creative ideas floating around. Care to lend me a few?

Hey Mick,

There is a certain carbuilder that has access to billet design capability!
