Bruce,
Alright, the cradle sounds simple enough. I just wanted to make 100% sure the car wouldn't turn in to a pretzel haha. Great Tip with the body and frame on shims to determine the frame centerline to, i'll definetly do that. For the flat part of the base do you usually just lay it out on plywood with small wood blocks nailed in place to align everything? Welding the roof to the frame should be fine beacause the car is not yet painted, just primered. I've seen cars with the roof braces up front, that does look like a good idea, I'm sure I would want those.Those braces over the rear window sound like a good idea also. Makes sense to tack everything in while in the body is on then take it out to finish welding. I'll have to look into Tremells, i've never heard of them. Sounds like a neat tool to have for this job. Do you know roughly how many feet of tubing is used for a chassis like this?
Thanks,
Michael
