Just a liitle off topic, but as an automotive history buff I thought I'd put this info up for those of you that haven't seen it before. It might be of interest to those who are concerned about the ability to form compound curves in stainless steel. Sure we're talking thickness, and stress bearing issue differences, as well as tooling capabilities, but the technology is likely available for those committed enough.
