I would suspect your chassis is flexing around a lot. the rear x-member doesn't look that strong either!
its a seriously cool looking little hotrod but I suspect you've got a lemon that will take a lot more money to sort out.
sorry!
What he said!
Also:
Your rear 4-bars look a tad short as does the panhard rod (If you want good handling.
I didn't notice an emergency (hand) brake.
The frame looks too flimsy and lacking X members so I suspect a lot of flaxing.

But yeah, a cool car and good proportions!
