I am not saying you are doing that, but do not be surprised if people do not want to share Waynes design.

Thanks for the reply, I can understand. I'm just a regular guy. I have no interest in making anything for anyone other than myself. I'm just curious how his frame is different from the stock vette locations (yes I know the engine is set back in the vette) and how it compares to other designs. I have a preliminary design already which looks pretty good on paper. I'm using the susprog3D recomended to me by astro racer. I've talked to a lot of guys about different setups for the front, and everyone seems to have just a little different approach. Before I commit to cutting and welding steel, I'd like to have all the bases covered.

My regrets to Wayne about having to close shop, I was very glad to hear it's not health related.

Unhappy Sorry Wayne!

Anyone that read my previous message please disregard my guess at what is going on with Wayne. I just found out from him that the problem he is having is with the city. They are hassling him for some stupid ass zoning law! It's sad to see when government gets in the way of someone that is doing an honest days work to make an honest buck and trust me, with the quality that wayne was putting out, it was as honest as they come. Wayne, I replied to your e-mail. Thanks for getting back to me.

All I can say is... it was an easy mistake to make. That was my first guess, too. In this case, I'm glad to be wrong.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was some stupid neighbor of his with nothing better to do than to rat people out.
