Shame there hasnt been any updates on this, was really looking forwad to seeing the finished product as i was reading through, tbh i know everyone is entitled to their own opinions and its a free country all that old **** but sometimes people need to think about what they say, at the end of the day someone coming on here and slating him for what hes doing isnt helping anything.
It clearly sais that nothing is finished on it so how do you know that hes not going to correct these things before you start giving him negitive comments.
I dont get why people cant just say if they feel they have to say anything atall that its not to their taste or something along those lines, seems to be way to many keyboard warriors out there
I hope to see some more of this as looks to be a brilliant build.

Personally I'd prefer someone to 'slate' everything I'm doing so I'm aware of it and can reconsider it if needs be.
where i was a touch concerned was the fact that the bulkhead hadn't been cut back, leaving the engine sticking out the front, then shoved up in the air to'clear' the steering. which was being overseen by a friend of his who built hot rods......a vehicle designed pretty much to be driven slowly on the road & like hell in a short straight line, and with not much in the way of cornering ability...... thus i think the handling was going to be difficult. i hope it isn't and will be more than happy to be proven wrong.
these are my own opinions and not gleaned from anyone else
Im not saying that no body should comment if they see something wrong, no one can argue against that but instead of saying youve done this this and this wrong suggest your way of doing it and if they chose to change whatever it is then thats up to them, at the end of the day you learn from your mistakes and thats the best way to learn imo but thats enuff spaming hes thread from me.
^^^ see something like that (edit: mowgli's post) is the reason no one should be getting offended at this being pointed out, it's all a game of sacrifice and compromises. If he did move the engine it means such and such happens which then affects x which changes y.
The 'right' way of doing it is to package the car and it's contents as an infinitesimal dot in the very centre bottom of the car, with a flat chassis of infinite stiffness leading to a suspension setup that keeps the wheels at perfect camber angles and a body around this if you like, which would obviously weigh nothing, the same as the rest of the car.
When someone manages that, and they get called out on a detail being 'incorrect' they may slate the caller-out lol
