Not Ranked
Hey all,
Just my 2 cents but I am working on a scratch built 289 car and I purchased a set of drawings from Chuck last summer and more recently his new set of fiberglass footbox and trunk bottom drawings.
His stuff is top notch, all done in CAD and is saving me a ton of time!
He has built both a 289 slabside replica and then the Daytona coupe that is nearing completion, and yes he owns an original 427 car as well. He has a wealth of knowledge on these cars and some considerable fabricating skills too.
I know they look expensive from the outset but once you see how much has gone into creating them you will be amazed they don't cost more.
I am guessing some of the good folks that were recommended to build you a chassis are using these drawings to work from, they would be foolish not to.
Don't be afraid to try, the originals were built by some British guys in a big shed, with arc welders, torches and mallets they are not complicated designs.
Measure twice, cut, weld, repeat

Perhaps he was always a shyster, but we just chose to over look it for awhile. 
You build what you like and I will build what I like...it's all good 
You know that guy,
The one in the neighborhood who likes to hang around the garage while you are working and talk about back when he had that killer 1977 Chevy Mustang
