I like your extensive use of CAD... It makes the job so much easier doesn't it?

Lol, I need funds to finish the C5/6 stuff but depending on how this works out that might very well happen after I thrash mine for at least 10k and get 10 in the feel with feed back from other guys to make sure that its possible then we'll look as selling it as a do it your self at home kit.

I've seen Rodgers frame and its awesome. I put it a little out of the rang of most home builders but very much a solid solution for a shop with a proper table and a tig for sure. My plan of attack is a little different. Instead of all flat plate parts I'm going to do it all from rectangular tubing. My frame is also subdivided into small self jigging sections to stop any thing from getting out of line. I'm also planning on covering shrinkage and I'm also going to give some examples of it in our movies so guys know why you say "Do as I say." I find if you reason with a person and give them logic to think about they take it to heart much faster.

Theirs always risk. Anything worth doing has risks and I plan to cover that in my videos. I also think the frame is over engineered enough with extra gusset plate all over the place to take up the slack. I'm also going to include several extra scrap parts in the kit so the welder can practice before jumping off into the frame welding.
I should probable post a photo
This is the current one, minus the exhaust of course.
I'm going to re design it a little in the back. That's my fathers original design and I've always wanted to change it.
Here's one of the lasers at work if you've never seen a 3D laser this might give you a better idea of what I'm planning.
