this way i know even if the chassis is slightly out that the suspension will be bang on (or as close as possible on a hand built car)

Cheers

i agree with that to a point but having a really accurate chassis is always better. i did exactly what Ronnie described. my chassis was that good that i made and bent the side panels cut all the suspension holes etc out of the book and they fitted and lined up with the chassis perfectly. the thing that made me laugh is that when i told chris gibbs he informed me that the cad drawings for the side panels were never made or tested for fit
