I'm fascinated by both the chassis and the process you used to design it. I assume your years of experience gave you a good idea of how and where to start with the design. But did you use any software or other intellectual tools to guide your decisions on what size tubing to use, where to put it, and how much reinforcement to use?

Hi Gary
Is this chassis something you are doing away from Dax? Ive noticed the change from square too round tubing. What difff is that?
Great too see a talented guy like you on here. Welcome.

How heavy is that chassis going to be? The bundle of tubing your using, I'm going to say at least twice as heavy as a typical CSX chassis.

That is some really clever stuff connecting from one side to the other to instantly and dynamically correct geometry. The spider work of tubing is a thing of beauty. The suspension arms look very long which helps with camber change from the look of things. Keep us posted on your progress.

Gary all you need now is a nice authentic 427 sc body to drop on that chassis, are going to be using big brakes etc..
|

an ally body would be nice and keep the weight down ,we have been talking to AP about what brakes we need , as big as we can get between the hub and the wheel

looks nice, legroom/headroom for us tall folk looks like it would be quite good as well. Full underbody flat floorpan option as well?
|

the floor is 1"lower than the bottom edge of the body on the under side of the chassis so good head room and the foot well extends 1.1/2"past the side vent in the engine bay, my partner peter is 6 foot 3 and quiet large and he has design it to fit the larger gentle man

what are the anti-squat characteristics of the CC & AR suspension? Any downsides you have found?
