Hi all, Finally got around to getting these out of the box.
They look really good and are very well made.
Australian made of course.

Good use for Plywood there Will, may I ask who the supplier was? Just for future reference. :D

Nice to hear in church but not in a Mexican prison.

Hi Will

Did you provide CAD files to the manufacturer and if so what format did they require.

No I didn't have to provide anything.
Well, I emailed him a few photos of body shapes I liked & he converted everything from the photos to his software, produced some drawings with dimensions then asked me what I thought.
I said that's brilliant & he fed that info into his CNC gear and produced the end product.

I was well impressed.
Now I don't recommend this, but he posted the entire package to me before I had even paid for it.

I have a few more jobs for him (John Duff) to do in the near future.

Price: All up the Fox style bender, 2x radius dishes, Inner Moulds & Outer moulds & Design & Delivery set me back $630
Again, I was well pleased with this price. Even if I could have had all the parts made in the US the shipping alone would have been close to his total price.

Thanks Kim.
I wasn't sure if it was worthy of the main forum or not.
