"the car is Atom inspired,That’s all… It’s not an Atom, It’s not even a clone or a copy, nothing on the frame is the same as the Atom, the pipe diameters are different, the car is wider and longer than the Atom, I’m running dual needle-bearing Bell-cranks, 265mm front disks, Wilwood’s (same as yours) up front, turbocharged Nissan engine, The dash is VDO…etc etc…
I designed the frame in AutoCAD, then had it all Laser cut. The Tubes are curved with a CNC bender. "

Why are CNC’ed tubing **required** to build a car?
There are more important things to building a car than pretty bends. Just look at the unsupported roll hoops on this example :bloated:
Or having the shocks attached in the middle of tubes intead of creating nodes with other members.
