[Marcus Barrow]

I need to start keeping an accurate itemized list soon. This is from
memory.

I have put in some more things to help line things up and provide
references, generally transparent planes or rods with lines on them.
It seems to be useful so will keep using that method.

I have put in models of Mustang II and Miata spindles that I have
found in other projects. There are differences between different
Mustang II spindles and it appears the WiIwood version is a little
taller. A member of the LocostUSA forum has been running the
suspension numbers thru wishbone.exe and they are looking good.

Tried hard to reset the engines further in the chassis by modifying
the firewall. That effort has been abandoned until full scale real
life modeling can be done because it's hard to know wether it's
practical or comfortable or realistic for real feet and controls. I
will research for photos on the web to help before I do this again.

Tubes are being positioned better for actual welding. Some of them are
being offset a little from their perfect position. Hard core builders
will be able to make the nodes more perfect.

The different suspension components are being moved to separate layers
as opposed to being on different sides of the car.
