    I know Huck recently ordered a new Pierce. I don't know if it was one of these "platinum" series cars or not.

    Yes mine will hopefully be done soon so I can put it together ... I know according to this board it's impossible to build bodies and assemble a car if your not a chassis builder ... But I'll do my best

    The Pierce Platinum, it is my understanding, is made from approximately 25% Docol Tube R8 which is a steel manufactured specifically for automotive and racing use in Sweden. The other 75% is still mild steel. In contrast, the Black Diamond/Club29 is made 100% Docol R8.

    Golddirt I am not a metalurgist so will not try to explain the Docol R8. If you are interested, go to www.aedmotorsport.com and click on the box for Docol Tube R8. Here you will find all the information you would ever need to know about it. I would be happy to hear your opinion on it.

    I highly doubt black
    Diamonds are 100% docol. That would serve no purpose other than inflate the price

    An Inconnel panhard would be awesome !!! Surely the prefect header material also makes the ideal panhard bar !!

    Correct. You wouldn't need it anywhere besides roll cage. If someone invented a weldable material with the same or less density than steel and higher modulus of elasticity, then you would want it everywhere.

    Haha. Now a silicon carbide composite could be the future. Obviously a different fastening technique would be used.
