I've managed to find an old MAS body(YIKES), 2x3 tubing, donor rear, and a complete front end. I think I'm ready to start building the frame.
Question #1 Since I now realize I have to stretch the body 4-6 inches, and possibly widen a few inches. Should I just lengthen the frame a similar amount, and perhaps widen the rear also, or is there any wiggle room built into the CCR plans I am using. I plan on using a SBF with T5.
Q#2 I have a piece of 2 3/8 x .157 wall tubing is this adequate for the front crossmember.(Suicide Mount)
Q#3 Does anyone here reinforce the bodys with metal tubing instead of wood? I would really like to do 2 doors, Wouldn't tubing be better?
Thanks for the help!!
