Thanks , Unfortunately i don't have time to build these full time .as i run a small engineering  business . i appreciate where Z cars get their prices from too as there is a lot more work to these than meets the eye

Love the gas bottle rear hub steel work ... nice to see a real engineer who can look at other objects and see how to use them in their builds.  Takes skill and the ability to think outside the box.

I picked the 5 1/2" od  C02 gas bottle trick up from building autograss cars , standard practice in the the world of grass tracking, good quality seamless steel ,readily available ,not too thick and heavy and just the right size..and there is enough left over for another pair of trailing arms.
