And make everything, from the chassis to the body.

For getting the roller complete the biggest challenge besides obviously making and weldingall the chassis tubes is the spindles.

I think I can get away with some NASCAR spindles, I can use the upper a-arms also and have a decent amount of spares for cheap. The lowers shouldn't be too difficult to make.

I am going to look into this more though.

I need to start the chassis design soon also. This semester is done in 3 weeks and I'll have plenty of time for a few months

I want to do the body like a rolex prototype but with a front engine

It will be difficult to make, but I figure by the time the car is ready for a body I'm sure something will come up

Indeed :D

I'm going to start drawling the chassis probably tomorrow


I wonder why they all seem to use square tube? It certainly would make life a lot easier
 
I have a good friend that Builds these chasis for a living along with suspension pieces. He also works on the Dyson race team and does a lot of work for Pratt & Miller racing.

If you think he could be some help I can get you his number.
 
I'll have to see once I get further along

I'm not really 100% sure yet

Thanks
