Thanks phmaximus! I'll try and do more on the rear end. Already made a tube to connect the upper side of the two rear shocks together, I now need to make a bracket to link that to the chassis. I think I'll do it with 3/16 brake line, kind of a tubular half-chassis. The shocks will have to stick up pretty high because they wont fit tucked behind the axles (because of the watt's linkage). If the shocks support looks a bit like a tubular chassis/cage it might look better, compared to a big shock tower.

Still need to find magnets to hold steel pieces together, I am having most of my soldering problems with keeping the parts from moving while soldering them/cooling off. Especially with thin steel sheets. I have found thin galvanized steel, once the galvanized coating buffed off it can be soldered just like regular steel. But being thin it tends to move while heating.
