I appreciate the comments, I believe everyone means well. I am an engineer by profession and we did a bunch of work getting ready for this. We didn’t just start cutting and welding. Attached are the blasted chassis and the finished product pics. This will be my last post on the forum, enjoy your cars everyone.

My brother is a process engineer (the guy who solves the problems engineers and line workers create) for the auto industry, and I work in safety (everything from radiation to vehicles, including investigations). As such we don't take anything an engineer says at face value - no matter what their books full of big ideas say.
In summary if you did a web search and found this thread - please do not mirror this failed exercise in over-engineered excess.

I run anywhere from 6-10 engineering teams at any given time. We primarily design, engineer and test for the department of defense. We have mechanical, structural, electrical, chemical, manufacturing, propulsion and specialty engineers among the various groups and teams. A process engineer doesn’t design, engineer, test or manufacture anything. They manage processes (although few of them are actually engineers) for various items that may or may not include anything related to building cars. Safety people don’t design, engineer, test or manufacture anything either. We have safety people on the manufacturing side too. In short these are simply opinions of yours. So anyone that comes across this in their reading or searches know the real qualifications of those professing to be the experts.
1. I thought you were done here, Ace Butthurt?;
2. Nothing you just said changes the fact that you still cannot weld (much less respect those processes and procedures in spite of yourself or your proclaimed education and expertise);
3. I too work in defence. Only the side that tells you what to do, calls you on your BS and reels you in (just like we are doing here);
4. Please don't assume anything about what my brother provides the auto industry (in the way of process management or design; you'd be eating your words);
5. Amazingly we actually build cars (pretty good for two "non-ring knockers", eh?); and
6. Finally, you built garbage and got called on it.
Despite your total lack of credibility here, you still remain my hero even if you aren't worthy of holding my combat boots.
In short these are job descriptions for a Process Engineer that sells your description short. I worked with plenty of engineers when I worked for an aircraft manufacturer and there were plenty who were idiots, the good ones didn't have an attitude that they were something special.

gp posted twice and got liked and got liked on both ??Too bad to hammer on the guy. He's trying to beef up the spaghetti limp frame and everyone has to jump on his poor welds and the fact that he left zero room for the body mount ;/
Paint looks nice though 🙂
I fixed that, I wish all of my mistakes were that easy to fix.......🙁
