    In the seventies I worked at McNamara. All of the tube frames were brazed. Formula Fords, Formula Threes and Formula Vee. some of the FF frames went to Winkelman. We did very nice work. All ink drawings, nobody even dreamed of CAD back then. Working as a mechanic later on, a FF made in Britain that I was responsible for had a frame failure as a result of an accident. Cheap seamed tubing had been used. There was no failure of the welds, but the tubes burst open along the seams under compression like a cardboard tube. Very nasty.

    • @thomsenmotorsport7201

      Modelling the car in CAD meant that each part was able to be built quickly and usually only once - there was very little trial and error. I'd not have been able to do this project without it, if only because I wouldn't have had the patience or willpower to put up with repeating work in that way.
