Question
Can the 2nd forward diagonal upright from the "hood" of the car to the top roll bar area be moved to help with a little more visibility?

Does the suspension wishbones etc come with the materials?
"The Design Schematics with materials. This option includes a depiction of the frame In 3D, revealing the location
and orientation of each tube in the frame, Each tube has a number and can only fit in it's location on the frame.
Design schematics for Suspension hard-points will be included. brackets will also be included.
Materials: Mildsteel
Shipping can be arranged.(not included)"

I actually specifically paid attention to field of view, with regards to those tubes. Moving them have negligible effect on FOV. But yes, They can be moved. the complete Roof-assembly can be omitted, if so desired
The a-Frame materials are not included in that no. now that you mention it I might look into having it in there as well.... although the Arm lengths will be a function of the uprights being used, and since the uprights are not included in that option, it might be a problem......
I'm not sure if people would be willing to make their own uprights.... maybe have it materials with the completed uprights included.... that might work....
SO far I'm trying to be modular. The possibility to chose between different versions within the same design, is merely a matter of changing the selections of a couple of tubes. Here for instance, the difference in wheelbase of 300mm is easily obtained. the rest of the frame stay exactly the same....
this should give one the ability to, with a single design, have the ability to tailor the car more for what one might intend doing with it. short for doing autocross\gymkhana kind of events, or the longer one for the strip or some dunes.

I prefer the long version maybe. :)
It would be great if a person could test drive both long and short in one session.
