Not a torque wrench in sight!

Having watched the first bit I was wondering what dropped off!

Yep, I noticed the absence of torque wrenches too...

and it occurred to me that at any stage of production, just one shoddy bloke with a hangover could really ruin the finished product. One of the downsides of being 'hand-built' I guess  ;)

And the weird thing is people will pay for hand built. I once did some work for Rolls Royce. It's all very nice having some old boy pick your bit of wood and cut out the dash, but when it comes to brazing the radiator pipes on, I'll take Mr. Honda's robots everytime.
