I looked over your pictures. You still have a ladder frame with no provisions to prevent racking. That's where your rectangle turns into a diamond.

Look at the frame in a 38 Plymouth in the link , see the big X in the middle, that is crossbracing.

2.

raising the rack rather than a tall stack of a bumpsteer fix would have been smarter. Cantilevering the outer tierod end is a poor substitute, look up cantilever I do not have time to explain the English language to you.

What about the ackermann? It appears in the pictures that the outer tie rods are inboard the ball joints, not proper in a front steer.

My definition of a scrub line is the same as the world's. If I have to define it for you then you don't know it. If you don't know it did you account for it? scrub line

5 link, if you don't know what it is why are you in the chassis business? 5 LINK - 101

Got the DOT approval letter on those rod ends? I'm guessing no, not really guessing though.

ASE, the state requires the inspection by an ASE certified master mechanic to title a kit car build. I do not care if you ever heard of them as it appears there is much you have never heard of. I do not care if you "trust" one to do a safety inspection as it appears you are pretty much slapping stuff together as cheaply as possible and calling it "good".

What it really looks like to me is that you got yourself a copy of how to build your own T bucket frame and used that as your basis for this chassis.

Hey Steve ( Mr occupation - yawning ??? ), Pretty good links. Thanks. Racking for sure won't be an issue. 12 3/4" bolts go through 1/4" plate floor and the fiber glass body floor in to the frame center section. 4' length of the frame in the middle will be stuffer than a wedding -----! Ackerman - Outer tie rods are outboard of the kingpin centerline. You had an optical illusion. Haven't really checked scrub line yet. Could be close in some spots. It's on my check list to do when I bust the tires off the rims for painting. Contemplating adding a panhard rod. Probaly drive it as it is first and see how it handles without one. As far a ASE certifications. I'm the buyer. I'm also MASTER certified in both car and truck - and been that way for many years. Although I am proud of it, I also know just how much "water that holds". Many states went the way of Texas. Weak attempt to weed out incompetent's. Unfortunately, most states, like Texas, are automotive clueless, so please save that BS and smartarsed comments for another site ( yawing ). Thanks again for the input and links. John
