Does anyone know of any good books, literature or websites on designing and building a space frame chassies?

I quite fancy giving it a go but cant find much about them

Yeh mate, The rear chassie is going to be somthing a little diffrent and is in hand at the moment but I have decided to go down the V8 route and was thinking about framing the front end but Im a little unsure of the correct and legal side of framing it, Hanging all the pannels ect and changing the whole suspension setup.

Just fancy the challenge really

I have read a few very interesting project threads from Retro involving space frames m8, stick a post in his room and I'm sure he would give you the links to his threads on them

I have found a few books that were recomended by the Beardmore bros. on there website (www.beardmorebros.co.uk) so I have just spent the best part of £80 on books this afternoon so hopefully I may know a bit more about them in a few weeks
