Per Mark BEX ....
Working out the rear suspension mounting, looks like it will work out.
Rear anti-intrusion bar from the B pillar to the C pillar, is welded in and is part of the suspension mounting

Per Mark BEX
A rear wheel and the rear suspension are on, as well as the chassis set at ride height so I can start figuring out some associated things such as the front suspension, and exact fuel tank mountings ...

Re: Elio Type Vehicle Resurection --- AKA the BEX
when asked, how do you attach the frame/roll bar to the outer shell ???
Mark BEX responded :
The primary attachment for the sides, is the 4 x door hinges each side (8 bolts), on the A and B pillars.
The sides are sandwiched by the hinges. You can see it clearly here on the 2nd build, just the one top hinge ...
There will be other attachment points, sills, C pillar etc.

Re: Elio Type Vehicle Resurection --- AKA the BEX
in answer to those who have PM'd me; as well as to those who are concerned and haven't said anything ---- Mark if fine ... he's hit one of those streaks we all go through where other personal business has monopolized his time .... he fully anticipates getting back into the groove soon .... as can be seen by him saying :
" Oh and sadly, my wife left me last week.
The sad part is, she's coming back in 2 weeks time, visiting my family in Australia."
those who've followed this thread an see that is sense of humor is still very much as usual

Apologies Guys and Gals for this week, been to the bank a few times, and I mean for hours each time, same at the tax department, run to the airport, another run to another city, and just tinkering with a few things that's all absorbed time and hasn't allowed me to make any big progress on the car this week that's worth showing.

additional comment added today :
..... and just to add, it is National Holiday week here this week, everything is closed, steel sales, laser shop, fold shop, etc until Thursday or Friday.

Guys and gals, I really am having internet woes, it could be a few days or longer, please be patient, I'm not going anywhere and nothing is changing about the car program, just I may not be visable for a few days or more at a time for the next week or 2 while I get it sorted it out.

Ok, laser shop reopened yesterday after the holiday break, got my upper suspension mount brackets cut, so back into action!
Because of the National holiday period all this week, all shops are working 7 days straight this week, meaning today and tomorrow, i.e. Saturday and Sunday, are normal working days for all.

Sorting out the lower control arm frame mounts today, going well, but I simply forgot to take a few pictures before I left the factory, sorry about that.
