I need to model an automotive chassis and running gear. The exact car doesn't really matter, as long as it is something within the past couple of years so the technology will look up to date. I have spent a number of hours on the internet, in the library and in the book store looking for some nice clean line drawings that I can use as reference material for this project. I can't seem to find anything. I would really appreciate it if anyone has a suggestion for a source.

Check the hobby store for scale models. Some of the better models have pretty accurate parts. can be scanned or used with calipers for sizing.

Thanks, Norm. That is such an obvious solution I'm a little embarassed that I didn't think of it.
