This 6 metre long precision assembly fixture for BLOODHOUND SSC rear chassis has been designed, built, delivered and commissioned in record time by Mark and the Team at Manufax Engineering Ltd.

Extreme machines need extreme teams

The titanium skins for the rear upper chassis crown sections are in place. The panel drill-off is starting to happen well ahead of schedule, which is great news.
The end of a truly productive year
It’s December and, as I look back on 2013, what is amazing is not just how quickly it’s passed, but also how much the BLOODHOUND team has accomplished. On the whole it’s been our most productive 12 months ever and there is a lot to celebrate.
