  Fantastic video.  I really appreciate you taking the time to explain the "why" of your past decisions instead of just documenting what you did and not discussing the pros and cons of each option.

  First?<br><br><br>I would also thank you for these wonderful series, which has more or less demystified the process of building a car for me

  Just when you think you have a plan for your suspension, THEN you look at the Ariel Atom suspension and go, damn, I need that on mine.......

  I was quite literally just trying to understand this. Thanks for the video

  Hey Ben - your videos are really well done! I just found your channel today so new subscriber. You&apos;ve included a lot of great tips and explanations in this one - I went through a similar learning process a few yrs ago when I built my chassis. Carroll Smith&apos;s Tune to Win was a great resource for me at the time - publication is decades old but still relevant. I went the push-rod route with corvette knuckles front and back (with lots of mods) - a few things I might have changed if I started over but that&apos;s how these builds go. If I&apos;d seen a video like yours before beginning, it definitely would have sped up my design work! Thanks for taking time and sharing all your insights with the community, I&apos;ll definitely be watching a few more of your videos in the coming weeks!

  Thanks - I read the chassis book, but did not pick up on the differences in forces for the different suspension mounts. I now need to re-check my design. But now, before I built any of it is definitely the time to check!

  Thank you for doing these videos. I have been working out an idea of building my own classic style open wheel car and you have saved me a fortune in knowledge and frustration. I’ve ordered a bunch of books you recommended and am changing a great deal of my design already. So glad I came across this when I did. Hope to hard park my chassis near yours one day. Maybe even compare a lap time. 😄

  YES! First video I&apos;ve found that touches on the actual thought and planning of chassis design so I can dive deeper down the rabbit hole. I&apos;ve been searching youtube for about 5 days for something like this. I&apos;ll be watching any other videos you have on this for sure. Thanks for taking the time to make this!

  I&apos;ve spent my entire weekend devouring your theory and skill content. Thank you so much for sharing your hard-earned knowledge! &nbsp;First foray into chassis building is going to be a small buggy/rail kart for my son.... it might be just hefty enough for dad to take it out every so often 😅<br><br>Been scouring the few kit car / replica car manufacturers left. The goal was to build a car after we wrap up our current rebuild of a 1967 Mustang Coupe. I&apos;ll model a chassis in solidworks and see if I feel up to building something original or based on 50s-60s-70s era &nbsp;race cars.
