Hey droptop! Thanks, I did consider a fabricated strut, either I-beam like the lowers or boxed sheet metal like the uppers (will ultimately be), and haven't ruled it out. I am curious to see if I can make the tubular struts look right. Basically, just challenging myself. If it doesn't work, I will tuck my tail, and start fabricating...
Some things on this project are hard to communicate as there was never a comprehensive set of art renderings. Being the owner and builder, I can see everything in my head clearly, so I just do enough art to communicate job tasks to the Team members, and verify some ideas before investing tons of time in them. Most are just byproducts of working so much in CAD. The goal for those tubular struts is to add enough gusseting and blending that they begin to take on the cast look, but still tie into the caged race theme thing.
Again, that's the
bright idea - if it doesn't work, I'll be the chump with the tail stuck up his...
