Start of a new custom ground up build

[MichaelLeeHearn]

As apart of different classes I am taking right now. I am working on designing my own car from the ground up.

So far I have worked out the falling.

[MichaelLeeHearn]

Wheelbase - 112"
Track width - 69.5"
Body width - 64.25"
Width at wheels - 78"
Overall length - 180"
ground clearance - 5" with 20" wheels for street use, 3" ground clearance for track use with 18" wheels
Engine set back 2" from front crossmember

The design is a front engine with torque tube and transaxle mounted in the rear, for near balanced weight. Plan is to use 20x9.5 front and 20x10.5 wheels with 28" overall dia. tires.

I have worked out one idea for the roll cage, using 1 3/4 .065 wall tubing.

The yellow thing is general shape of LS motor, torque tube and trans axle. Still need to work out front body work, control arms front and rear, shocks, swaybars and interior.
