The front suspension is coming together nicely. Aside from some concerns about the strength of the axles, everything seems to be working as planned. I purchased the lower ball joints off a VW Jetta on ebay for 2.50 apiece, and welded a connection to the axle nuts from the BMX wheels I bought. Regarding geometry, camber and caster have yet to be set, however my kingpin inclination was fumbled, and as a result, I have a positive scrub radius, where I would have preferred zero. Camber will likely be set at zero, and caster at 8-10 degrees (positive). Lastly, my track has now been set at 52 inches, which is hopefully not too wide. The complexities of all these variables have gotten me worried about how handling will turn out, but only time will tell.
Next to come are the upper arms, which will be much lighter duty, steering arms, and a steering wheel. In other areas of the car, I have removed the acceleration pedal, as it did not seem strong enough. I have ordered the parts to build a new one, but shipping is estimated to take another week and a half. I hope to have my rear tire soon so I can begin working on the drivetrain and trailing arm, but the technical difficulties therein persist. Turn signals and tail lights are wired and ready to be installed but I have decided to wait until I am working on the body to instal them, as they could easily be damaged.
