ya the front "foot print" i am not real crazy, but it kinda just ended up where it would be.  keeping room for the front shaft, 36" ish links, and petals will be forward of the front sub.  it will start to come together when tube gets bent, it may get changed a little, but its a start to get the drive train mounted up.

tall motor mounts will of course have a ton of tie in when tube starts to get run.  it has some CJ upper 250 wall links it it.  Motor mounts are all 3/8" plate and tabs shrong.  3" bushings.  i should get a seat before i mount the trans and case.

Sub seems ridiculously huge for its height on the chassis at this stage is what I'm thinking.

i guess i disagree, look how "big" Atom was  this is smaller. 

WB is longer than i wanted but most cars are actually 120-125 these days

That is the bottom of the car, right. Not an actual subframe. Its like Atom was, not like yours and mine are now. That square is the from itself.

a couple lines will change a little, but i think thats the general idea.  Built around radiator fitting between the double pillars.  Looks like everything is laying out pretty good.  probably gona change the A pillar angle, i was trying to follow the campbell#8 car at that point, but i seem to have ended up with a huge window net opening again...

I like the lines of this car.   Clean and simple.     


Question.   Why are the main hoops not complete single tubes?
