Default slow slow build

recently started my mini. 2 seater with a rc-51 and jeffco rear end. here is what we got on solidworks so far. this build is going to take awhile because of money so updates will be every blue moon. in the pic i have a basic mock up of the engine and a rpm gearbox.

Just out of morbid curiosity, if you plan on using a Jeffco, then why is there an RPM in your model?

scored a set of gear one front brakes from a friend for $400. ordered up the spindles today. should have the front end finished in the next 2-3 weeks. then im going to have to move it around like a wheel barrel till i get the trailing arms built.

i ended up getting a set of spindles from kustom1warehouse.net. there the same spindles they sell on mooreparts and kartek the only difference is they come unassembled from kustom1 for $200 dollars instead of $400.

i keep forgetting to take a camera so ive been snapping pics with my cell phone.
