One drawing, or set of drawings that may be of more 'real' use to scratch builders is a set that define the maximum dimensions of all critical areas in order to fit within the confines of the GT40 sillouette: eg the height/width of the panel with fuel fillers, height/width of sponsoons, w/screen dimensions/angles.

In doing this you would leave it open for those that wished to choose between Mono/Spaceframe etc

A bit like reverse engineering, or having the body shell & constructing the chassis inside it.
Still a lot of work - the 40 has several areas that create problems clearance wise especially when you start to compromise on rim offset's-suspension components etc.
