With all the parts that I'm not going to use now gone, it's time to get serious about piecing things together. I'm challenging myself to have this thing going within the next 3 years. Probably completely unrealistic given the scope of work and my reputation for finishing projects, even more-so with now having kids. I need a goal though, so 3 years it is. If I don't hit it, no big deal, but I need a target nonetheless.
Since I'm not planning to put things back together in a traditional manner, I'm going to need to do some calculating. I would like to make this an exercise in my engineering education (since I don't seem to use it much lately in my current position), and maybe make this a teaching type thread with thorough explanations and plentiful pictures like some of the legends among us on this forum. Again, lofty goals, but I'm a glutton for punishment. After all, I own a Jeep...
Might as well start with brushing up on my CAD skills...

Once I get a good frame model built/procured I'll get into freelance engineering options, but I'll start a different thread for that.
