Here is some of the drawing work I have been able to do so far. Family and other projects are getting in the way a little bit.
These were all done with Rhino and a few different views.

Still need to add rear suspension and chassis, steering arms on fron spindles, shocks all the way around and finish of the drivers area.

In the passenger compartment is there any hidden steel tubing anywhere or is the steel(?) sheet doing all the work?

2x4 tubing used for frame rails and also for trans tunnel frame with skin added to that. I designed everything with the plans of using aluminum to reduce weight. Tubing is 2"od 3/8" wall.

I will try to post some beter pics of the front suspension. I need to add steering arms and corvette based hubs with centerlock units. I did add brake rotors and hats already but not calipers. The wheels as just a quick thing I drew up but do not like them very much.

The QC housing is just a basic lay up for the over all idea, but not right need to update that also.
