Front: I will read a lot more about this.
Rear: I still don't understand how the rear will be any different other than the book chassis since I will be using a solid rear (from mustang),
similarly to the book... all the rear suspension consisted of was panhard bars, coilovers and the wishbones... so that will be straight out of the
book right? all i will need is to compensate for the 7" wider the axle is...

Sounds like you'll get there Louis. And you're pretty close on the rear end, except those wishbones are called trailing links. A book
design may work quite well if you follow it nearly exactly, but if you wanted, for your own edification there are some cool points to research in
regard to four link suspensions (thats the trailing links part) and panard rods (depending on where they're mounted, they can be used to tune
over/understeer aka NASCAR and sprint cars). Cheers!

Front: Sounds good! As I said before it's not to hard to come up with something thats better than the book. A really tricky bit can be to
find/make a good drawing of the upright (Thanks Jućo!).
Back: A live axle is very straight forward and should not be any problem. What can fail in the rear is looks. When we were going to build our first
chassis we started by fitting the wheels to the live axle, tried on the wings until the wheels filled the arches and then measured the distans between
the wings to get the width of the frame.
Good Luck and Cheers!
