I have the completed steering apparatus lying around and I am still in the process of building the suspension mechanism, but I decided to begin work on the car frame and body, since that is the most complicated part of the entire car. Last month, I had built an adequate frame, but it was limited in space and didn't look as appealing as I had hoped for my super car. So I scrapped it down to a bare bones frame and began to build on it again. I love k'nex flexible rods so I try to make use of them whenever I can since those rods are so versatile and are able to suggest a smoother, more streamlined body. I always start building from the rear of the car forward because for me, I am able to build the foundation/frame of the car if I start with the back. Like I said, I am not done with the new body and have not even begun work on the front seat area forward. Also note that on the new body, the wheels were taken off so that I could work on the rear suspension mechanism described in a previous post. I still have a long way to go on the body, so it will change even more in the next few weeks, but I just wanted to give you an idea of where I had started over from.
