Thats a fact.
Tremendous work. leading edge stuff.
(Not to thread hijack, but I just watched a "*****in Rides" episode about a '59 big American boat (can't remember the model) project that showed a trip to a foundry. They fabbed up a part for the custom grill, and had multiples cast. Really cool to see the casting process. They are in SLC, and said they were going "Down the street", but, I don't think foudrys are in every town!
Is it a common thing for you to have a part cast or is this the first? Expensive? (I'd think)
I was surprised at the amount of labor it took to set up each pour for the batch they had done.
Anyway, the surface finish looks killer.
