i have made a few things but nothing on this scale,when i do building jobs i just break them down into smaller jobs ,but with the long term look of the building in my mind at all times ie routing of pipes cables etc.do you do similar ?Thanks @skinnyhoskins
Yes excellent work. Impressed
Have you some drawings or are you just making it up as you go? I envy your skill time and spare cash to be able to do this.

Great stuff @Shovelhands /@Clamphands
I feel your pain regarding design work..
I nearly failed my workshop classes due to lack of paper to show how I'd "designed" my projects.. I settled on making what I saw in my mind, then drawing it, then working backwards to the concepts and rough sketches etc to satisfy the teachers.. but that is what they wanted.
Will be extremely interested to see how you're going to locate that big axle, I have it all pictured in my mind, so it'll be interesting to see if I'm close
Awesome fab work though, impressive!
In my mind it will be located fairly well by the A frame at the front, and it's just the lateral movement needing addressed?Thanks Pete
Adding suspension to the big axle, is only an idea at the mo, it's going through the design department as we speak, I will wait until I actually get to that stage, if I get there, to explain my idea, it will be easier once I'm doing it. But what I will say now is, my best way is an A frame, but it's not really possible, for a few reasons......so, it will be done another way, if I choose to do it at all, we will see

My imaginings are a bit like a 6-link set-up, but 4 of those links are taken care of by the A frame. Merely a bell-crank in the centre of the axle, and a rod to each chassis rail to keep it in the centre regardless of what the steering or suspension is doing... but so many options would work. A panhard set-up being the logical one, but there is that slight bit of lateral shift esp. with so much clearance/travel.
Will let you get to sleep, best of luck
A bit of both, actually..Sorry Pete , have we got crossed wires here? Are you talking about the rear axle? Or my 'idea' or putting suspension on the drive axle?
If it's the drive, I cannot use an a frame unfortunately, for a few reasons (things in the way)......
Long way off all this though, and yes, I should get some sleep! ..
for the drive axle?
