somewhere on the forum there are all the dimentions of the
stevensons cyclekart design which is really useful for scaling

also, overlaying the stevensons sizing guide with a side view
picture of the car you are trying to scale is useful, you can
cut parts out to fit the sizing and i found that was a good
place to start. Stefan did that to design the bugatti aswell

Good looking inspiration car.
A couple of comments/suggestions re scaling.
Your height, width, and length can all be scaled, but remember
they doesn't have to be to the same scale as each other. A bit
like models trains bod is to one scale but the tracks can be to
something else.
I found the scuttle, or rather leaving it off all together can
make a big difference to the fitting the human in problem.
Probably the most important measurement is the height of the
waist bulkhead/instrument panel because of entrance and exit, my
first go at a CK involved being able to get in but not out!
Good luck and go for it.

Thanks for all the advice, the Stevenson Drawing is very
helpful.
I will push on with some drawings and see how it ends up!
Thanks

I managed to get some time in the workshop today, mainly thanks
to the lockdown.
Following a visit to see Stefan’s very nice Bugatti and several
attempts at scaling the chassis for my build I took the plunge
and welded a chassis up.
I figure if it’s wrong I can soon cut and shut it etc!
Front axle next,

Looking like you had a good day there mark. What size RHS did
you use? I only ask because I have some 25x50 and would like to
use it up on possibly another CK build.

Its 25x50x2 Box section, mainly because I had some and my mig
welder has 1mm wire in it at the moment.
I think to try and weld 1.6mm ERW box I would of had to buy 0.8
mig wire, tips etc.
Welding 2mm steel with 1mm wire was not the easiest!
