check out mcsorley plans (click links) there are fewer mistakes in there but not much in the way of suspension brackets etc....and welcome to the

You don't make it easy on the newbies do you Conrod!

From here you will get a 'correct' chassis plan and cutting list! Basically the book but with the mistakes taken out!
Hope that helps, good luck!

Welcome CJtheman. Personally, I chickened out of building my chassis, so when you've finished making it ( next weekend) I might be able to offer
advice on the rest
"just like that !"

Welcome to the site mate.. Dont be afraid to ask any questions. No matter how silly they may seem.
I got half way through my chassis then gave up as i was building outside and it was rusting quicker than i could get it together. I followed the
mcsorly plans, much easier and less mistakes.

You're at the beginning of a very long road, but welcome!
I've done 2 chassis now and the only advice I'd give is make it 1" taller all round including the transmission tunnel. You'll
need this anyway if you want to fit the Pinto in.
