did you ever get it driving? Looks cool!hell yes! had it on the road for about 18 months. very scary experience as it had-
a) no weight to speak of
b) was very high sided and moved easily between lanes in crosswinds. see also reason a.
c) was visciously over servo'd with a pedal stroke of about 1" in total.
d) was ballistic off the lights due to a 1.6 capri back end.
e) it had no seatbelts and had wooden floors.
f) unboxed chassis although it was well braced TBH
g) the suspension hardly moved, not good when it was this high-
good fun and cost sod all in the long run. learnt a lot too. mainly learnt not build hotrods
Sounds like a laugh
Theres just too many options! Ill have a good think, consider all my options and come up with a brake/axle/suspension plan first then make some decisions.
It wont be done for a while but i want to start gathering parts.
