Hi all
Ok I have an empty garage and a welder/mechanic on stand by.
What is the largest people have expanded the chassis out to.
I am 6ft 8" tall so will need some serious room, I am also planing on a 6 cyl engine of around 3L or so, so I will need to stretch the room in the engine bay to.
All help and advice is great.
Cheers
Mark

try luego velocity chassis as a starting point, it can take a V8 and is much bigger than standard book car.

Dont you mean Luego Viento, which is 6" wider and 12" longer, and basically as far as I can see a Scaled up Velocity / Locost.

I have sat in a viento, and its nice and roomy, whereas a Dax, and a Locost managed to squeeze my Bum a bit.
I am 5' 10" and 18.5 stone.
My Lad is 6' 4" and 16 St (and only 16) cant stretch his legs in a book locost.
Advantage of building your own chassis is you can make it as big as you need.

Viento is a big car! (compared to a locost)

I am 6'6" and fairly well covered and have no problems sitting comfortably in a locost with an extra 4"length in the cockpit area.
Have a look at Jim McSorley's plans:

If you are going to build a chassis from scratch you have to look at his site. There are several different size options there.

Balderdash, you are 6'43" and very well covered, and after a severe amount of bashing, fitted into my book chassis with no problem. It took an engine crain and 4 tubs .
of vaseline to get you back out but that is a different story.

McSorleys plans are excellent, deserves all the praise he gets

You promised not to tell.

It's your own bloody fault Mark, you should have added the vaseline BEFORE
