Um... If you can use CAD and take measurements you can make a drawing.... I know how to make a drawing and I'm not an engineer. I took CAD in high school.
Just because your going to school to become an engineer doesn't mean you're the best or have common sense. My neighbor is an Structural engineer and put the oil in the gas tank on his lawnmower.... Just because they have a degree in something doesn't mean they know what they are doing.

This must be about the 8th time a list has been started for A-RUCAs. The list only gets to about 10 every time...just more proof to the potential investor that it is not economically viable to produce these for this car...
Look, the OEM RUCAs cost $100/each...and they are with rubber bushings. You have to expect that an A-RUCA would sell for at least double the OEM cost with steel ball joints and adjustable... You are up to $200/each or $400 for the car...if they are mass produced! To get them custom made is $1,000/each...
Please...continue with your list...

Okay guys sorry for the delay..been crazy busy at work. But here is some information.
Name of the fabrication shop is called Driving Force Fabrications.
They specialize in mostly suspension work. The have done multiple setups on porsche cup cars, they have built a full suspension setup for a 64 temepst that was built for autox. They are not a platform specific company. Most of their business is through one-off requests.
He did tell me that if he likes what sees and people show some interest, they would need a test car that is local to the orlando area.
This is his words exactly "
And I stand by my products 110%
If I don't trust it to work and last with my kids in the car I won't let it ever go on some one else car
Quality control is my moto every step of the process we are sure to check and recheck everything.
If the interest is there I will get designs put together.
Depending on how these cars are setup will dictate how I proceed with the design.
Whatever design is the strongest, most reliable, and capable of doing what is asked of the part."
He did see the xtec arms and was almost mortified by them because of how cheap they look. He was shocked that they dont even have a lock nut for the ball joint.
Now as far as approx pricing, he said do not hold him to the but a set would be 350-450 approx. It could change a little depending on machining and all that. But thats a rough figure.
Hope this is good news for everyone!
