I was mainly interested to see if the Challenger body fits onto the GTS '7' de-dion chassis. I bought a copy of the plans last year. I'm thinking about building another car but I want to make the chassis as well this time.

Phil,

How did you have to modify the chassis? Are there any drawings available?
