Man! is that an optical illusion! Every time i blink i see a different view.

Does BT let you change the colors of the tubes?Maybe try all one color?

Looks cool.I would line up the tubes in the floor,from the middle section to the front section.

well the front section lower tubes are modled after the panther ao i used those dementions to
use that same suspention in the front except i am changing the spindles to the heavy rod end type
i am also using rod ends on the inboard side of my a arms
the tubes in the the center section are placed for easy seat mounting thats why there is a difrence .
to answer your question yes i can change the tube color
and you are right it evan messes me

nope got me there bud, did you see the nicely trimmed box hedge? HAHA

so going along with bullnerd, maybe chuck some bracing between the differing centre rails so that 1 bar dont bow out. it probly will when you weld it up how it is there nyhow. and i guess your going with a arms in the rear? but i see a nicely bent bar ready for trailing arms too? they would be short. hmmm.

just keeping you on your toes

yea i didnt draw braces but will use them in alot more plces also
you are right abour rear arms and they will be longer than you might thing i based some of my susp
on the panther just changing the length they will be longer for more travel and and more tube for strength

its nice to see i am in good company with other miss spellers lol........
i did modle my upper schock mounts last night and when i did it lent it self to a name for this prodject
i will ad a new drawing later
i am thinking rattel snake
