I am sure you gonna love this site then.
Looking for pictures like this? This guy has it all in CAD drawings on his site: G.M. Bove design As well as a tub design and crashtest section. Anyone who wants the new Technical regulations explained beautifully with pics like these, please check it out as well. It's absolutely second to none. Cheers, Dino [Edited by Dino IV on 15th December 2000] |

Probably not far off no
Sorry to have mistaken this to be about F1-monocoques, Graham. What's this sports 2000 series? Monopostos? Tin tops? I remember exploring a site about alloy tubed Hillmann Imps conversions which made for incredible racemonsters, but maybe you can tell us a bit more about the series you mentioned. |

You're the man, Graham. It was actually your site I was referring to! Gosh I love cars like that, really outstanding work.
I found some second hand Sports 2000's at http://www.racecars.com but nothing more. The site of http://www.motorsportindex.co.uk might be useful but I guess you explored it already. |

Not at all...I was just going to ask Graham for an updated website link when I noticed Chris' comments about Graham no longer visiting this forum.
Anybody know Graham's new website? TIA, |

I have a tubular space framed chassis Chevrolet Camaro in my workshop built by chassis expert Banjo Matthews and operated on the American IROC race series of the mid to late 70's by Penske. All steel construction no lightweight thats for sure but the workmanship is a work of art. Go no drawings but have a few photos. Oh years ago I used to work for Nathan Racing on the Costin Nathan GT's and we had the monoques made by a boat yard on Eel Pie Island on the Thames but they were made of wood!!! but I guess that dont help much either :-).
