The round tube across the front has a torsion bar inside it. It’s a funny car suspension.

Sounds interesting . . . . can you get enough travel and damping so it handles street driving and isn't too bouncy?

I hope so! Lol. I suspect I’ll also have a little flex in the frame rails to soften the ride.

After a looong day yesterday all I wanted was to spend the day in my recliner and let my back and legs quit hurting. Indycars was to be here at 9:30 to help and I always enjoy his visit so I suffered through. We got the rear half of the frame built and squared up to within 1/8” so we called it good. He was such a inspiration and got me over a huge hurtle. Wanted to publicly thank him and at the same time brag on progress of my project. Thank you my friend I will get the frame welded together and get some pictures for the folks on the site.

I understand first hand about living with severe pain. You are lucky to have a friend for inspiration. One of the things that life and time has robbed me of. Keep pushin, you will get there.

Always nice to have a buddy for inspiration to give you those little nudges when needed.

That is a blessing for sure. He even swept the shop while I was welding! Friends like that are hard to find. It’s 4:30 am and I’m thinking about going out to the shop. Motivation is a good thing! Lol

Think you might could send a little my way . . . lol
It's just weird how much different it feels inside the house/shop when the hurricane shutters are up and it's dark and no fresh air moving . . . totally kills all incentive to be productive.
Fortunately, only another couple/three weeks until we're past the peak period of hurricane season and I can take a few panels down and open some windows to some fresh air and daylight. After thanksgiving, I can take the rest down . . . at least until next year's first storm starts heading my way . . .

Interesting you mention that. I start my day by vacuuming the garage floor before I start my piddling. Especially in the area of the bug light where it has done it's job the night before. I even vacuumed the garage lighting today as my wife pointed out the cob webs yesterday.

If that was the case you would've been the more reserved liked by his parents brother. I on the other hand would've been the thorn in their side always in trouble brother. I turned out ok tho.
It's nice when the better half takes interest.

I always sweep my shop and put stuff away. At least I can find stuff.

I’m trying hard to do better. I’ll go through cycles when I clean up at the end of the day for a while but go back. Lately I have worked until I was to tired to do it. Cooler weather works better for me if humidity isn’t to high. I have been a bum today but going out now. It’s about 4:30. Goal is to get two halves together.
