Here is a little video I made showing how the steering is going work.
Notice the bulkhead plates have tabs that extend down to the I-beam fixture. Those tabs will be trimmed once the chassis is done.
This is my first try at making screenshot video. I will work on improving quality.

BTW, I just love Solidworks. I really hated it until I got used to it but now I'm mad at myself for taking so long to convert over.

Rob, It's a great tool but you will still come to know it as SolidQuirks!  :-D

Built the chassis jig yesterday. Got it as level as we could. Today we jigged the rearend. It's a start.

Yeah but my old software (Ashlar) was 10x worse.

Structural steel is never all that accurate for what we want but it has weight and strength. The trick to using it as a jig is to level everything you add to the base (shims rule!). If you approach it with that in mind I'm sure you'll be happy with the results.

Installed midplate and top bars.
Oil and gas tanks fit like they're supposed to.

 

Then I took it back apart as I noticed that the midplate had about a 3/16" bow in it from right to left. I'm sure that the engine / trans sandwich would surely flatten them when tightened but now would be the time to adjust it and make it a bit better.

Does anybody have a pair of worn out 9 x 30" Mickey Thompsons? We will need a mockup / transportation set of tires.

I've been contemplating not running an alternator on this project. In order to keep voltage from dropping off, I would be using a large capacity 16v LiPo battery. LiPo is great because it discharges at a very steady voltage. The manufacturer promised me less than 0.2 volt variation throughout the run.

I have one that you would have to put a boot and tube in--you are welcome to it if you can use it
