love this build....

Ive been spending a lot of time working on a new design for some of the front end components. I will be going to a unit bearing style hub and a billet spindle assemblies that I will machine.

I got in the front calipers so I can integrate mounts for them into the spindle design.
They are factory 6 piston Brembo calipers from a Cadillac CTSV. They are designed for 14.5" rotors but I have seen them used with success on the same 16.5" rotors that I am running. Pictures do not do justice to the size of these brakes.

Heres a sneak peak at the spindle design. It utilizes a unit bearing from a half ton Chevy pickup. They will be all billet aluminum.

I also got a loaner th400 so I can start working on motor placement and motor mounts. I have some special things planned for the motor mounts as well. Even more billet!

Some very cool ideas.

Very cool indeed. Any thought to doing billet lower control arms for the front?

I dont think I will do billet lowers but the knuckle and uppers will be billet.

Theres hasnt been much movement on the build the last few weeks. I have been just working on the design for the billet spindle set up.

I did invest in a large format 3d printer that I can utilize to prototype some of the machined parts to verify fitments, geometry, etc.
It is a Creality Ender 5 Plus.

I also invested in a larger cnc plasma cutter. I had an original Langmuir 24"x24" unit. I upgraded to their larger pro unit that also has Torch height control. I paired it with a new Hypertherm 45xp power unit and machine torch. Im very happy with the quality of cuts Im getting out of this set up!
(This pic has my old power unit hooked up while i was waiting for the new Hypertherm to arrive)
