I doubt it, but it has probably run into some practical snags on the CNC work from the sound of it.

Chris: have you considered doing initial fitment with something cheaper? e.g. someone may be willing to cut (or 3D-Print) your specs out of plastic for test-fitting and design revision. You might not be able to dyno-test that version, but you could at least get everything lined up so that the first metal version fits correctly and just needs the dyno testing.
