Question Want Grumpy's chassis info

Grumpy I am receintly divorced and my son really wants to build a cobra. I am an engineer and have spent many hours fighting with the latest cad programs (so I know where you are coming from). I have purchased some books on chassis design and will start as soon as I am done helping a friend gut and replace a kitchen.

I plan to first buy the original 427 plans from Cobra Restores to get the main points done for me. I have been told that these are difficult to build and are not as strong or adaptable to glass bodies as the newer designs.

Where can I find chassis plans for a 427 that will fit most bodies?

I am also considering using stainless steel even though this will add weight (for the identical strength). Has anyone else used stainless steel?
