Good Books for Chassis Design
Like the title says guys, I would like to learn a bit about what goes in to designing a car chassis. I found the following book, but it does not really have what I want
http://www.amazon.com/Race-Car-Chass.../dp/0760302839
I am looking at something geared towards the design as well as construction. Any help is appreciated guys!

That one and "how to make your car handle" by Fred Phun.. I use both and they cover everything I need. Even still, you gotta watch the reading, I "think" I have seen some typos in both books. But if yer reading it carefully you can pick it up and realize it was just a typo. JR Originally Posted by falcon65
