CAD files
Taking some time assembling the spaceframe in solid works before going about actually building anything. Sure beats buying a ton of steel, cutting it
up and finding that something wasn't right about your drawings 
But I also realized that there are a couple of things I probably won't be able to do myself: the engine, gearbox, differential, steering rack,
uprights etc. The spaceframe is easy, but all those things which will need to be sourced from donors... Where can I find CAD files for these parts?
I'm also toying with the idea of doing a monocoque chassis (not IRL but on the PC). Anyone done that before?

Take a look on my website under the files section and you will find a whole load of sierra parts zipped up to download, although they are AutoCAD
files, i dont know if you can do anything with them.

Guys
I got be honest i didnt draw these parts myself, i only drew the locost chassis. So im not entirely sure what it is, but i suspect it could be an
escort one looking at it if it isnt a sierra one.
sorry if this has caused any confusion.

As long as the drawings are detailed enough, I should be able to make some 3D models. Thanks

I think the westfield FW400 is a monocoque as well.

Chris,
I'm fairly sure the box is a type 9, after comparing it to some pics I've got.
Cheers.

Chris, can you pls recommend an Autocad guide? Have just acquired AutoCad 2004, which is very different from Acad R14. So I need some form of
"how to" instruction.
BTW - Those CAD files were very interesting, particularly the g/box.
