Very cool setup. Interested to see the finished product from just this work.

Question:

I am just started to get my toes into Chassis Engineering. In the future, I would like to put something underneath my '49 that is autocross worthy. I have miles to go (in the learning section) before I even do. However, when I see guys who run a more "complex" suspension setup, I see a large amount of them reusing the stock frame (boxing and bracing).

Is the frame really that structurally sound than just boxing and bracing it will allow you to run it hard?

Reason I ask, I never pictured these frames to be setup (dimensions and geometry) for running this as an autocross setup even with the bracing and boxing. Seems I was wrong, but I am wondering what I missed.

Thanks.
