If you want strictly online sources try: www.thebackshops.com/ . They charge for blue prints and their list is limited. If you know your era of interest get a CD copy of the car builders cyclopedia which has specifications, dimensional drawings and statistical information. Walthers carries them I believe. If you are interested in a specific manufacturer or road there are specialist books and historical societies which frequently have archives of plans. If you want to hit the nail with the big hammer go to www.loc.gov . the Library of Congress. If it has ever been published in the US likely the LOC has a listing. If all else fails, and you have a clear photograph with no noticable parallax of the piece you are interested in and know at least one dimension, wheel or driver diameter for example, you can print a photograph to scale and then take measurments from the photo. Not knowing your exact want I can't be more specific. Randy
