Check It out. Made some progress on the ole frame
Tig welding with the new Dynasty 300dx.
Some nice machining.
Now to take the body off and see if this can hold up the front supsension.

That looks real nice. What are you planning for the final outcome to be?

The finished product will be a drift car that will be street legal. well kind of.

Yeah I am designing a very similar tube frame cage and pan very similar to what vw1303 has done for my chassis and suspension class. If possible I am looking for what ever dimensions (especially on the cage) that I can get. I am going to design the chassis on Catia and build a scale model (and eventually a real car) and do some FEA testing and quite a bit of suspension geometry calculations with canter of gravity and roll centers in bump and in roll. so sorry if im stealing the thread but im sure im not the only one that is interested in this stuff so any help or sugestions would be great.

thanks,
Eric
