You might wanna rebuild the spindles, your gonna have some major steering issues, i've seen straight up and down kingpin angle before (which was very hard to turn) but yours are actually backward and I can only imagine the difficulty your gonna have with the wheel. *I would also highly suggest a couple B pillars in that frame......

The trailing arms also have a bad problem of bending the first trip out. *A guy had a log on a short sand car build and bent his trailing arms in the first 30 min. *He then completly boxed in the trailing arm and they still bent. *The design itself is the problem. *Also, the outter trailing arm mount on the rail is single sheer unless he changed it, I would definatly add another tab for it...
I'll try to find the log of the other build, it was the exact same trailing arms... |

Alright, people are gonna prob. jump my ass for making anymore comments but I could really care less. *There's a few other things I see and i'll just mention them and if you care, cool ,if you don't, cool, I just wanna point out some stuff I see. *
Spindle snouts are too high, there's alot of load on the upper a-arm plus it lowers the ride height down alot. *The *a-arms look really weak and there's not enough bracing on the lower for the shock mount, the shock mounts are layed over way too far, if you let the air outta them, they are gonna lay pretty flat. |
