I think I need more triangulation

OK, the triangulation may be a little off but I think the castor is about right

I'm not too sure about the blobs of weld on the roll bar either.

Why that's splendid! I'd say that modular design has just reached it's zenith. And your effort! I can just see the blood-and sweat drenched hours put into refining that jem!

To interject just the teeniest bit of criticism here - you may wish to reconsider your camber curve. Yes it's consistent with American sedans of the 1960s, but you might be a bit chagrined the first time you dive hard into a turn.

But I don't mean to wee on your parade. It's obvious that you've acheived the most compliant chasis since the series 1 Lotus 7, and all those engineering classes that you took at the local pub have obviously come to fruition!

Thanks for the valuable input. My main concern at the moment is trying to get the pinto to fit.

Now that's what I call CAD!
How long have you had a 'Holodeck'?

It makes compound joints a bit easier though

More balljoints than most..

Need some animal magnetism?

Did you use magnetic flux core welding rod?

As Scotty would say, "It's a Lotus, Jim, but not as we know it."
