Have you done any CAD drawings or is this all done by hand and eye? What material will you be using for the tuning? I hear T45 is pretty good and lighter than a lot of others...

Didn't say it wouldn't work and If I remember correctly your not a tall guy. I was just making an observation not a criticism. Its your race car build it how you like and if it fits you and works then that is all that matters. I dig all your work. Just not for everyone lol!

I think this car/thread qualifies as the DIY build of the year, if not past 10 years. Definitely a step above the rest of us, and 99.9% of shops.
