where's your thread?

I haven't started a thread yet. Im kinda side tracking for now due to several reasons money, money and money. I have most of the stuff but the wheels, tires and body are gonna cost me an arm and a leg. Tomorrow I'll be going to my buddies house to get a truggy chassis designed. But for now no fifth scale stuff to pricey. But the thought of doing it is always there. I'll be constantly checking on this thread to check on progress!!!

What i planned on buying

FG Racing Audi Body
Proline Roadrage tires
Axial Oversized wheels

I cant say I think much of proline road rages, I bought a set for my buggy and to steal Gee's phrase it was like an elephant on stilts with them fitted, There very floppy and easily the worst on-road tyres I've used.

I love them on my 1/10 cars, up to 45mph.
Not sure about the 5" and 50+ mph
?

What do you think ?
Jut a mock up, I may make my own rockers so dont pay to much attention to angles.
Trying to be different here:
Should I lay the suspension on top like F-1 or stand up like first pics ?

Preparing for a new low body.
The front turned out just ok, it was a bit tricky getting around the steering. I'll probably make a nicer one later. The rear one took a few hours machining in my drill press but it came out great.

The new body I plan on making. In researching forming Polycarbonate it looks like money and time wise I will make a PVC body first.

Here's what I am aiming for
