Have you looked on the net for similar car drawings . Model Cars used to publish drawings in their magazines years ago, it's what I used to make my body for my Ferrari 156 Dino. I found a site which had a load of plans of different cars a lot of which were used by slot racing car peeps .
Could you get some strip wood to make the chassis and thin balsa or ply wood from the net or are you just using what's available ?

No, but I've a friend who spanners for someone that races a Brisca F2 - which is very similar to a Superstox. I've asked him, and he said that he'll go and get the tape measure out.

I've got a lot of plywood and fibreboard knocking around, along with some more substantial timber (old floorboards) and dowelling in various sizes, so enough to get me started. Plus I have a lot of card in different grades, which should work for the cab and bodyshell.

The first stage is to make a detailed set of drawings. I trained as an automotive engineer, so I should be capable of this.

Spent the afternoon logging and hauling. I've just about got my "float" of firewood back after the recent wet and cold weather.

I now have the answer.

78 inches, for those who are interested.

Cycled past our mass vaccination centre, just after sunset today. Not much evidence of “mass” but they did only open today.

If you get your friend to take some pictures square onto the car , front , side and rear it will help you to make your drawings, you will only need a couple of dimensions to be able to make scale plans .
