D99: Scuttel & Upper A-Arm

I've been dying to get an idea of what this car will eventually look like, so I threw some spare wood together to build a scuttle mock up. I'm still deciding what I'm going to build the scuttle out of in the end, but for now, at least I can picture it.

I also rebuilt the upper a-arms. I had to do this to mount them to the new geometry created by rebuilding the front end. Below is the new design built out. It's not as easy to adjust, but it gives more space for the shock and of course, works with the frame redesign.

Oh, and I built some shock mounts. I'm not finalized on the placement of the upper mount yet, but it'll do for now.

Nose Cone CAD

It's been freezing in Denver for the past week... and by freezing I mean barely in the double digits. So instead of working on the car I've been playing around with CAD mockups. Here is a rough idea of what I'm thinking for the nose cone. I'd like to keep the look of the BMW grill and work that into the nose cone.
