Tony,
Very nice work!!
Your experience that "95% of all of the chassis strength is from the front of the suspension arms rear wards" has certainly been borne out by several "Group 5" or "GTO/GTX" style race Pantera chassis.
My own race Pantera follows a similar approach - get rid of (or at least lighten) the parts not adding structural support, and re-engineer the rest to make it stronger.
I really like your subtle fender reshaping. Look forward to following your updates!
Will you also be cutting off and reworking the rear??
