If I may ask, how many estimated design and machine hours are in those pieces?
Well, the design was provided by the customer, CHRA. We did make some minor changes to allow use of a steel insert to accept the Chrysler screw in style ball joint and some other small things.
As far as the rest: design and make fixtures, CAM out the multiple setups per part and the machining time, we were right around 3 weeks total if I remember correctly. It was a fun project when we made them. Had no idea that they would end up being on a Ridler winning car then. Pretty cool.

***additional thoughts continued next post!
