Axle/Knuckle/Headers

Well I haven't posted anything for a while because I kept forgetting to bring my camera to the shop. So the latest things I bought was the 96' Cobra rear axle for $150, front Mustang II drop spindles $50, and Stainless full length headers for $300. Not bad if you ask me. I thought I was going to have to spend a lot more on and axle and definitely on headers. Anyway, I think I have everything I need to get started on the frame; except for the material for the frame. Like I mentioned before, I'm going to mock it up in 2x4's to get a start on how it will fit. I think once I'm done with that I'll take all my measurements and plug it into 3D using ProE. That way I can run an FEA (Finite Element Analysis) to see how well it resists torque and weight. Well that's all for now, I included a pic of my little 125cc dirt bike which occupied most of my time last Friday when I was supposed to be working on my car. The only thing I got done was crappy horizontial braces you can see in one of the pics.
