Ok hehehe.. this makes a little more sense. I figured it would be something like that but I just couldn't place the words.

Thanx for the prompt reply. I'm getting ready to start a chassis which I think I am going to base on the McSORLEY 7+4 design. I'm in Canada and have contacted Haynes in the UK to get a copy of Ron Champions Book which all of you know of hehe. My engine plans will be a Mazda Rotary 13b T2 or normally aspirated fuel injected. They are 200hp and 165hp in the same order. Lots of "onions" for a 1200-1500 pound car hehehehe. I've been reading some other threads about measurement acuracies and so on but I'll work in inches and hope for the best I built a frame for an 85 Celica mutating it into a 4x4 with 40 inch mudders. I think I can get around any offsets that may be present in the plans I have.
It says right on the plan sheets that Mr. McSorley created "FOR EDUCATIONAL USE ONLY" but hey, this is gonna be an education isn't it?? hehehe
I could use the standard "book chassis" but the +4 inch design will fit the wider axles I have access to over here.
