Those are the only pics I took when I was over there last weekend. But it's a double A-arm suspension with a pushrod (gold link) going to a triangular bellcrank (red aluminum). The bellcrank pivot is obscured by the tube in the picture, but the pivot point is the forward-most point on the bellcrank. There is a threaded recess in the frame rail that the bellcrank bolts into. The coilover is just held in by double shear tabs welded to the top of the firewall crossmember.
The pushrod is adjustable and the coilover is adjustable to dial in the suspension. There is also a rear link to adjust toe in/out (red link between the rear mounts of the a-arms).

Definitely get video from the test runs if you can. I have wanted something like this since I first saw the Atom and since I have that H22 just sitting right now it would be a nice swap in.

Sounds like a good setup and exactly why I was interested in it. From the pics it looked as if the links from the coilover were too far forward (front of car) in relation to the axle setup.

Here are some more pictures.
Rear suspension for John. Axles are in. Had to make custom length shafts:
Steering and pedal bucket. The steering wheel is keyed and removable (otherwise it would be impossible to get in or out, lol)
Fuel cell and carbon/kevlar floorboard. The whole floor weighs like 11 lbs.
Turbo manifold (ebay). The trubo will sit about 10" from the drivers head, so there will be a lot of heat shielding in addition to the firewall. Good thing it's open-air!
Front suspension and radiator:
