Then some more mock up to make the shock mounts
Making the shock mounts
Completed the shock mounts and removed the wheel tubs and frame rails
Boxed off the chassis rails
and just yesterday I finished most of what I want to do for now on the rear suspension.
This whole project has been a huge learning curve for me, I only started welding 2 years ago this month and have never bent any tube before either. I really enjoy the whole design aspect of putting a race car together, I do a bunch of research on each aspect before I lift a tool. The main goal though is to go as fast as possible without spending a fortune.
So far I have only just spent slightly over $3k AUD but obviously there are lots more parts needed to complete this build but I will be making a lot of things by hand to save money.
