Well my first prototype sub-frame has been a challenge… This why we build prototypes so that we can catch the things that will work & need to be modified..
The first thing that was a issue was the steering column that did not have the clearance we needed.. then the frame rails were too narrow to build headers.. then we needed to build engine mounts… then have clearance for accessory drive system…

So plan B.. We redesigned the frame rails to clear all the problems that we were having… It will use 2010 Camaro accessory drive, more friendly for clearances on the steering shaft & headers, & plus it will be fabricated frame rails for optimization of building the frame rails… In the mean time we have modified the first chassis so it can still be used for test purposes & the we finally built the control arms.. We will have Rev 2 of the chassis in a few weeks..
