They are front springs on rear shocks so that's the only way they'd work! Rear spring rates are all wrong for the front. I just like the silly tall shocks up front.

Yeah, was just kidding you. Kinda figured what they were when I seen all the clips and read the tower was taller. You guys are doing some great work. Keep it up and start producing some of the for the b/s/t area

Here it is. My very first chassis. Once I get comfortable with these I'll start working on chassis with a built in kick.

A countersink bit and a drill press really help make things go quickly. This whole thing took me about half an hour. Not too bad for the first one. There is actually more to this one than is shown though. It will be a modern design with additional side pieces that stack on top of each other. Look at the X-Factory X6^3 pictures to see what I mean. My old Atomic Carbon CR2 chassis was done the same way. Very stiff and very strong. This one is going on my friend Chad's car. He's getting the shock towers I made too.

What cutters are you using? And how long do they last?
I'm thinking about copying your design... my brother in law has a lathe and can probably whip me up a pin like you got.

The cutters I have a just carbide cutters from the PC board industry. Found em on eBay- need to find more! I get quite a bit of use out of em, probably 10 chassis or so. I cut so many small parts its hard to keep count
