| Awright, I know there's folks here who know about this. After seeing a

| with examples. And a link to pictures of the 166MM with the body off
| would be great too. I've googled and haven't found any yet. So, books,
| web sites, museums ?

| Beyond that, _Chassis Engineering_ by Herb Adams, and _Race Car Chassis
| Design and Construction_ by Forbes Aird. I think they're both in print.

This is the book I have and I second the suggestion. Paperback. Short
on specifics and all that, but the book isn't meant to be a mathematical
treatise, and even states that as such. Other than that, there is great
explanation of coming up with a good design, which I thoroughly enjoyed
reading.
