Didn't they at least use an alloy block/head engine on the lumitub?

Yes, but I was referring to those internal parts that have to be steel..
Like the rear axle and diff housing was machined from solid ally, but the
diff itself, drive shafts bearings etc, were probably std parts. and the
propshaft is a special made from stainless steel finished to look like ally.

Mike Curtis, the machine shop guy, certainly knows how to design, programme
and operate the CNC lathe and mill.
..Mutch of the stuff he made for the alumitub are works of art IMO.
Especially the front crossmember, door hinges and wheels.

Another thing about the prog I find amazing, is the speed at which they get
things done.
Mike.
