I used to work for a really small kit car firm in Kent, we did a car from scratch while I was there.
I designed a chassis for them made from 25x25 ERW box with tubular double wishbones - the chassis was a bit of a mash up of pre-existing ideas from their other car they made and some stuff transferred from the caterham +4 chassis.
It took us ~9months to do the first chassis, we had designed the bodywork and had various scale models / renderings of it but they refused to tool for any of it until they had 10 orders for cars
