Hi
I am an A&P Mechanic for a Major Airline been working on cars forever but never built a race car although I have been around many. I have always done frame on restorations of cars fixing mechanical stuff and interior stuff Paint and body stuff ect.

I am looking for info on how to build Custom frames 4 links and front end's, Custom chassis and suspension have any book names for me to read up on first?

Was wanting to start with a Alston, Jegs or Morrison type build first on a Old Camaro to learn with what do you guy's think is best?

I already own my own shop, welder, Tools and equipment paint booth ect. so this type of build was always in the back of my mind to do.
I am not looking to start right away as I have a few other projects going right now but rather looking for info on how to do the job right. Any and all suggestion greatly appreciated.

I think a Camero would be a perfect place to put this I kept it when I sold my Boat. Was trying to sell it but no one wants it and I am not giving it away I have too much in it.
