Actually they made a tubular steel space frame go cart, but they also had to machine custom spindles and hubs and blah blah blah. I don't think there was any aluminum on the go cart, but there is plenty on the formula car among other things (magnesium, titanium, carbon fiber, kevlar, etc etc).

You should make some new old car spindles, taller, of course, for better camber gain

and maybe sectoion a lower ball joint for faster steering ratio. Of course all for the K. Jeff and I will be the doormen to the shop. Hmm I could see it now, looking like Dexter's laboratory.

that is a nice set up for making small parts but then you have to buy all the tools that's another $1K bucks but i guess it all pays offf in the end a friend of mine makes boost controllers with similar machine(lathe only) and sure makes good money doing it on his free time
