Re: Chassis Drawings/Blueprints
Gents,
Thanks for the posts. I've got some good news and bad news on the drawing front. The good news is that Dave Brown of Classic Car Developments in New Zealand, having just completed the third, and completely accurate, hand built monocoque in his shop is currently producing a set of drawings for the more convicted among us home engineering types. They'll come with photos of a chassis in construction etc. He's taking his time completing them as they'll serve as his definative workshop drawings for his business as well as for sale.
If you're interested, you can write to him in NZ. However, considering the amount of research and effort that has gone into producing a full set of legible engineering drawings, there are those who would consider them expensive(depending on your viewpoint I suppose).
I am going to purchase a set as I'm set on producing a modified chassis for my replica of #1074 (Gulf #10, Le Mans '68). All I need now is to get my current sports car sold to make way for the project (and help fund it).
The bad news is that I'm still putting the new engine in my current car so it'll be another month before I can even consider selling it.
Ah well, no rush.
