anyone know if there are any chassis plans available so I can build a fisher furyesque from the ground up similar to rons book for a se7en?

I thought half of them where bassed on "the book" with Irs and wider front track and out riggers to carry the body ?

Things like the Cyana will fit on a standard Haynes roadster, as that is what I had planned originally. And I feel it's closest to the Fury in terms of profile. I think at most it needed a change at the scuttle, either to lengthen or shorten it (I can't remember which)

To be honest, it does appear that most seven based cars are within a few inches of each other anyway, so you could pretty much get any body to fit any car, with varying levels of effort. Had I not set my heart on the HSR body I would have been trawling Ebay for a scruffy body at a bargain price, with the intention of bringing it back to life with a few mods and a paintjob.

Get stuck into a Haynes base, then see what is available when you get to the bodyshell stage.
