Build Your Own Single-Seater

This all-color practical book provides a step-by-step, extensively illustrated guide to building an affordable single-seater car for road and track use. The design is loosely based on Formula One cars of the mid-1960s, powered by a motorcycle engine via a chain-driven differential. The down-to-earth text shows how to build the chassis, suspension components and fiberglass bodywork, and advises on how to modify and use a range of motorcycle engines. The end product is a budget-priced, high-performance, road-legal single-seater, ideally suited to track-day use – and a learning experience in performance-car engineering and design.
