2016 Pierce Platinum Chassis

[Highside Hustler25]

Know of anyone who has gotten one or has one on order?

[Josh Bayko]

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 majority of the folks that think that haven't seen your stuff, im guessing.

Saw some photos of the new "Platinum" chassis...what is all different compared to previous cars they were building?

[pamoyerfan]

Where did you see photos ??

[Jet Jockey]

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]

So is it a more flexible steel or what is the difference ?

[Jet Jockey]

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

I hear he is making the pan hard out of Inconel................

[hucktyson]

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.
