Chris, was great to see you Sunday. I'll be up this weekend if you're around. The software was Rhino and Steve made it sing!!! He cleaned up the images yesterday on his home turf and the files are off being cut at the water jet guy.

The upper control arm pivots at midpoint were then modeled to get an instant center (taking all other compromises into account) as close as we could get to 120" and ended up at 112", producing a very low roll center. It's designed so we'll be able to dial it in with shims once its all completely finished and on an alignment table. --I
Thanks for the response. Sounds like you have it under control!

Nice to see you too Ira. I'll be up at Wray's this Friday after work so long as my plans don't change. Steve sure does good work with the scanning and CAD design.

Really nice work on both the Chassis and the body panels. I'm looking forward to watching the progression on this project.
Thanks for posting all of the pictures as you go along.

Like the way you think!! I was thinking down and dirty turn and thread something on the lathe and weld to a uniball. Some times you get lucky, the inner joints of the early 2000's boxster/911 (same part number) widely available 3 turn rack is a perfect match.
