It may be an optical illusion, but are you sure you can get a propshaft past the rear diagonal bit?
Just realised - it's prob IRS, so rear of prop doesn't move.

Liking the strengthening bits though.

Looks good, however hows the diff going to be attached or is it live axle and would their be enough room for movement of a live axle with out hitting the triangulation tube?, would of also thought you would need more than one big diagonal on the rear bulkhead.

Front end looks interesting - is that a rectangle at the base rather than the usual taper?

Just wondering how you will get irs to work with the chassis rails behind seats?
Surely they are too far ot and will hit the driveshafts?

Also 1 brace for seat bulk is not enough. Twist from right (OS) will be transferred to NS lower etc etc causing more twist.

Just a thought.

Nice work tho

If you read the other posts it does say it was going to be a live axle setup first,but is now going irs so the bars your on about will be cut out and the chassis isn't finished thats why there is only one cross brace on the seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
