    Has anyone got some CAD drawing for the chassis, I showed pictures to a local engineer/steel shop and he said to come back when I know what I want.

There's also the following plans I downloaded from cyclekarts.com but they are only really an overview and not detailed CAD plans. There's some interpretation required for both of these as there's some details and dimensions missing and some dimensions may change depending on your body type / suspension design. It should be a good start though.  More ...

Might be worthwhile comparing them to the ones you have just to be sure. I think that they are pretty generic and share similar wheelbase and track dimensions but I recall that when I made my chassis there were various differences between all of the plans that I could find online. I ended up tweaking them to suit my build.

      General consensus is to take a basic plan like those above or the Stevenson sketch (on the tech page) and then overlay your chosen body style over the top in photoshop or similar app to check how the features line up with things like engine and driver location. You can then adjust the design to suit.
