Does anybody have scans or access to blueprints or technical drawings of Dinos? I have Googled exhaustively only to find partial and confusing images.
The Ferrari manual for the 206 GT, for example, has a nice clear side view but when you get to the 246 Ferrari official manuals they use the same drawing, just adding bolt-on wheels. It has the same wheelbase and height as the 206 - so it looks like they just got lazy.
Post here or PM me if you can help

I've seen those and the 206 & 246 Chassis diagrams are pretty clear and useful. The smcars image, is I think a homologation paper with a sketch of a 206 pretending to be a 246. It'd be great if we could find body blueprints.
Here are a couple of side views from the Ferrari Dino manuals. The side views are identical in length and wheelbase - only difference is the bolt-on vs knock-on wheels. Therefore I suspect the 246 manual just shows a
That last one certainly helps with proportions and reference points.
I take it from your pursuit of exact proportions/chassis etc you are either planning or working on a direct replica? That's a bit beyond my scope but the geek in me feeds my interest!
