That's where you think the final location for the steering rack is going to be?
What spindles will you use?
How will the tie rods coming off the rack connect to the steering arms on the spindle?
Can't see how the steering geometry will work on that the way you have it currently.

I've got pictures of the spindles I designed and made on the previous page. The steering links attach at the top front of the upright.
This post shows the 3d view of it to help visualize it

"handled" meaning I'll keep poking away at it until it works

Thanks guys, glad you like the updates!
I expect I'll be back in the garage tonight trying to finish the fitting and cleaning up the cuts so I can finalize the position and then plan the mounting locations. That'll go a long way towards the front design and layout getting solidified

Ambitious design. Looking forward to seeing it completed.
My Type 65 Coupe: Ordered May 27, 2021. Arrived November 19, 2021.
I would like to treat my gas pedal as a binary operator. It would be nice to get the cooperation of everyone in front of me.

Looks great!
A former member "Oxide" did something similar with the side pipes. Looked really good, but we never got to see his finished car unfortunately.
Keep em coming!!

It's been a super long time but I'm still alive and kicking! Just not on the Coupe at the moment. Busy with work and life even though I'm still working out ideas in my head and doing CAD design work to flesh out some things.
In work related news of something that I can share, I got a new toy to play with. Official calibration and machine release to me/my group is tomorrow. Too bad it's at work and not in my home garage so I can't exactly play by making all the custom parts I want to that much easier.
Hopefully I'll have car progress news to share before long.

Just had the pleasure of reading through your build thread today. Thank you for documenting. Talk about a custom project! I'm hoping to order my coupe kit in a few months, but I could never dream of deviating this far from stock. Nor would I have the mental wherewithal to accomplish it.
Best of luck on your continued endeavors
