I'm actually serious for once, not trying to be a smart ass. Really...


My question is how stiff does the frame get when it's all finished, do you get much twist when driving? I've no idea how stiff an essentially ladder frame car is, sorry I've only experience with monocoque stuff.

I think BMW are up to 3 metric tons to twist a new 7 series 1 degree, any idea how your stiff your chassis will be, I wonder if solidworks can figure it out?
I know this isn't supposed to be a luxury motor but it would be interesting to compare. Especially when you fit a blown coyote mill in it. It wasn't a negative comment originally, i was just genuinely interested.

so what ever happened to this project? The most of the pictures are gone and I couldn't find anything on the OP's website under finished or in progress albums. Too bad, would have at least liked to have seen the frame.

I sold the project to an employee that decided to go after greener pastures. So I'm guessing it is resting somewhere still not being worked on. Would have been a cool project.

wow that's too bad. Sounded like a great build plan though. Thanks for the update, there's always the next one right? :)

We seem to have no shortage of work. So just like you said on to the next one.
