Looks great Dave. I have been experimenting with a similar design for my Beachracer '40 Ford Sedan. The idea was to do something similar to my Hillclimber VW. The chassis should rotate longitudinally, rise and fall vertically within limits, and isolate the drive axle from what the rest of the chassis. At least that's what I had in mind. A tuning fork type probably has other things going on that I don't notice. But yours looks like it will do everything I wanted my design to do just fine.

I am way behind. FIRST: Great job on the chassis. What a forking work of ART :)

And the paint scheme is superb. Just superb.

It has to be summer because things are really heating up around here.
