where is a site that has good instructions on how to build your own chammy cage?

Honestly it's easy...you don't need plans or instructions...

Draw some measurements on paper...go buy the wood...put some water sealer on it...build a frame...make a door and staple screen to all of it. Seriously, you just have to sit down and figure out how big, what materials, and what is going to work best for you.

I would never use other people's plans unless they are exactly what you want...better to figure out what works best for you, your home and your chameleon...

Here's a few of our cages...build easily out of pine and metal window screening...we use these for chameleons and crested geckos.

They are 4' tall x 2' wide x 2' deep.

here are two sites. What Chris says about making it to fit your needs holds true, but these can give you specific guidance and adjust accordingly - or one may be perfect and then all the thinking is already done for you! LOL!
