Fab side to the shop isn't complete, but it is back up and running! At the moment we are going to focus on the front suspension, then move to the rear suspension. We have the front suspension designed and CAD, but I'm sure the final design will change when actually building it.

Track width. I want this thing wide. Alot of high end sports cars/super cars seem to have a track width of 60-70inches. For example the viper ACR comes in at a 62.9", while the corvette zo6 comes in a tad over 63". Aventador is 67". Koenigsegg is 66.9 Keep in mind track width is center of tire, to center of tire. So that gives an additional 5-6" of "meat" per side to add to get a complete width. We are going to be around 78-80" in complete width. From my understanding is just wider than an Aventador.

Here is a quick mockup. The passenger side is a 345. The driver side is a 275. I Would love to run atleast a 315 up front and a 345 in the rear. But would really love to run a 345 on all fours. It may not be ideal, but I'd like to play around with the 345 on all fours to see if it can be dialed in. After all, the car is being made from scratch right. lol. Once we nail down the track width, we will start fabbing the A arms and cantilever suspension.
