I couldn't give you a sight with a build diary but my father has designed, built and raced 2 or 3 mid-engined ally monocoque cars. I have a few
pictures of the chassis build and the finished product in my archive. If you would like to see more construction pics I could e-mail them to you.
Cheers,
Andy

Andy,
any chance of posting any extra pictures here - I am also fascinated by monocoque designs. If not, I could U2U you my email address. I am
particularly interested in how the suspension loads are fed into the chassis without causing fractures or fatigue.

I too am very interested in the design process behind a monocoque.
Out of curiosity, what are the specified differences between a unibody (like every passenger car these days) and a monocoque? Aren't they both
chassis of sheet (metal, or composite) composition with some tubing to brace certain places as opposed to being entirely a tube chassis?
Thanks

The Quantum Xtreme uses a stainless monocoque IIRC.

Do a google search on PRB Composite, they don't give much away as far as the mono is concerned but it's worth a look
