Laser cut and folded the A pillar load plates today.
These spread the load of the A pillars into the floor sills.
Don't mind the simple bolts used for the moment.
We had issues. There is someone taking care of things. The site may be up and down for a bit.

Short on updates, because it's well over 100 degrees inside my factory, has been all week, and I have been at home mostly improving all areas of the build in CAD finding where I can make things faster, simpler, cheaper or more accurate.
Don't think the silence is for any other reason.

Weather looks like it's going to change, the Summer rains have started, always a good sign to cool things down.
Sorry for the delay, but i'm just not going to make myself sick in a 110 degree factory.

At home madly going through every aspect of the CAD files to see where I can improve, so I'm not relaxing beside a pool!

So this pile of lasered parts, and another lot tomorrow, is the result of sitting in my office optimising all the front structure of the car, and you thought I was sitting by the beach!
When I get the second lot tomorrow, of course off to have everything folded.
It's still darn hot by the way, felt bad for the guys in the laser shop.

Just before I sent my file for laser cut yesterday, I did a final check and realised that I hadn't allowed for the thickness of the metal on one part of a part.
Correcting that 2mm or 0.080" mistake, had a flow on effect on every single other part in the file, and has taken me all day today to correct it by literally redesigning every part you see in the file below.
If you compared the parts to the parts yesterday, you would hardly tell them apart, that part of the part that's part of the part that I partly parted apart.
Feel free to compliment me on my nesting too

I WAS impressed with the nesting!

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

5 hours in the factory today was it for me, whopping headache now, not from the heat, but from the wretched humidity.
Anyway, production front subframe looking very good, and got my first ever laser weld done ...
