Nah. Just doing some more updates/tweaking and accumulating again for the downloads section.
I always get sidetracked horrendously when I'm web scouring though.
The new rig looks sweet, btw. Nice pic of it and Stein together.

That thing came out AWSOME!!!!! It looks FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!! When's your first race??
Keep us posted on how it works and drives! I'm very curious to hear how it does. Maybe a video?
So, what's on the table for your next build?

Looking closer at the pics you have posted. I really like how you designed the posts on the bumpers to quickly and easily accept a strap or chain!! That's pretty TRICK!! I might have to copy that at some point down the line!
I know speedy recovery from being stuck or broken is crucial in a racing environment. My buddies and I have been road course endurance racing the last 3 years. I don't know if you've heard of the the 25 Hours of Thunderhill Raceway in Willow's California. But it's a 25 hour race, similar to the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Anyway, Back on track. Those attachment points are Really COOL!!! I've never seen anything quite like them on anything smaller than a barge or ship

lets just say i have a nifty little vehicle lined up for some super modified trialling.but it needs a lot of modding and fab work done on it first.lets just say it will have coil sprung suspension all round.solid front and rear axles,an 80" wheel base a tray back and front and an exo cage.

its funny you should say that about the barges coz thats where the idea came from.
No. I haven't specifically found any mistakes. Is it the angles of the top and bottom Hoops?
It almost looks like you could turn it around and weld the brackets on the other side (what is currently the front) to give you better slope on the top hoop and point the lower one underneath and back instead of going forward like it does.
Overall, this this is Amazing. I would definitely like to see it run! Have you driven it much? I'd be curious to hear how it feels and drives! : )
Keep up the GREAT Work!!!

That's Funny! Because I wasn't positive you would know what I was referring too. lol But I really like they way they came out! You're not worried about the strap coming off the top of the posts or wanting to if your pulling from angle, specifically from above?
