  3. I don't know a lot about fabrication, but I have some questions:

    Won't the split wishbones hit the frame rails with that setup?
    Won't the car rock quite a bit under hard acceleration with the rear suspension far inboard like that?
    Finally, can you get inside it?

    You might recognize this car. The inspiration. The wishbones will move outboard (just clamped and temp. brackets), The rad will be rear mounted with electric fan and water pump. The push bar /shock mounts are how you load in the open top. I guess we'll soon know. Point and shoot.

  6. That should make an excellent commuter!!!

    This should be a fun build to follow!

    f--k up. I'm not good but I'm slow.
