I think you are the first here with a non-domestic project. Gotta agree with Darren, looks like a ton of work.

Any thoughts on Ride height? Brakes? Wheel / Tire combo?

Looks forward to seeing it progress.

It looks like one big project you have going there!

Please don't take this the wrong way because I am not bashing here....but it appears from the photos that you are using 2x2 box to build the frame. I am no designer or fabricator and hopefully some that is will chime in, but I believe that will not be strong enough to accomplish your goals from a performance and safety standpoint.

Again this is just my guess and just offering this observation from a safety standpoint. Obviosly I do not know what you are planing as far as reinforcement or roll cages.

good luck in a huge undertaking.
