I wonder how the kitbot frame would work with Ackerman (car type) steering?

I'd be wary of cutting away too much from the kit frame; when we tried going open-front at BE, it was not really as effective as the whole frame together. I'm not saying it's impossible, I'm just saying to be careful.
Another option, if you have access to facilities that can do sheetmetal work, could be to take the drawings of the kit end caps and get new, wider ones made. I believe that IFI has the drawings on their website.
