The book tracks the historical evolution of chassis design, moving from early "running chassis" skeletons to modern high-tech structures:
For many grassroots racers and kit car builders, the spaceframe is the most accessible form of high-performance construction. Aird details how triangulation is the key to a successful spaceframe. By arranging tubes in triangles, the engineer ensures that loads are carried in tension and compression rather than bending. The book provides diagrams and explanations on how to design nodes and pick-up points, ensuring that the forces from the suspension are fed cleanly into the structure.
