11.5 long 6.5 wide feet tire to tire. cab is 50inches wide 46inches tall
To get the motor out im going make those two curve pieces like a hood. No this frame design has not been tested. Once i have the frame built i can build my a-arms/swing arms around the components. It would be hard as hell to put actual components in the design + i don't know what im using. Ya sinister your front end design seems to me the only one that makes sense. I have drawn all the rest. wide open a -arms seem so much stronger.

Most chassis designers start from the wheels in.

I think i have enough info to get me started on the frame. I don't think i will have problems with fitting components in the frame. while im building the frame and collecting components i will draw them in. Im making my own swing arms, a-arms spindle/brake assy/hubs. To make this thing affordable and not crazy $ you have too.

Understood but you're still putting the cart before the horse(many of us have been there).If you're comfortable with that go for it.

You have some dead tubes. Other tubes could be deleted or repositioned to save weight & add strength.

I would be happy if i got the frame done by the end of this year. I have the know how but no time. I have lots of time to get components and alter frame if nes.
I have already altered the cross brace in the door. It now goes to the center of the b pillar. where do you think theres a dead tube. Im at 185' of tube thats not much my buddy is using 240' in his 2 seater design. I think 200 is average
