Hey guys, I may be the first one to talk about this with this specific car, but this summer I plan to fabricate many things for my car with my dad's help. Now one of which is going to be tied into the front and rear suspension, but what do you all think about making a frame built into one of these cars?
I plan to have a front, rear, and center clip just like a race car with a roll cage and all as well. It will use a short-long-arm configuration at the front, and a 3-link with panhard bar in the rear. All custom coil-over mounts to use road racing shocks. I plan to get rid of alot of the unibody as well, because a unibody is basically one of the new versions of a frame, so to have both will not look as good, but also be much much heavier. I might actually get rid of the entire front of the uni-body and instead mount the mody panels to the frame instead. At first it will start simple with the removal of as much of the unibody as possible without having to build everything at once, and just get the 2x4 frame rails attached to the suspension, new fabricated K-member, and new rear suspension design.
This is not near a completed list of things to do, but I just wanted to get anyone's opinion on this matter. Thank you.
