    I will be looking forward to following your build progress @BADAIR.

    Have you decided what design of sim you want to build?

    Probably he did not understand your kindly question ;)
    @BADAIR may I suggest some details, first the lack of space of your arms by turning the wheel. Second you build a "chassis" but already no room where to install the motion parts generally. It would be better to think about your motion design and than as a second step to develop the outer part of your rig. Just my 2 cents ;)

    even a desk racer seat mover would not fit in there.

    Yep, hence why I asked the potential design question.

    i agree, first build your moving parts than go to the externals (its just a hint :D)
