I'm going to the local scrap yard tomorrow I will see what I can find for tubing for the bottom rails I have plenty of square and rectangular...
Would nee to be around 26 inches I'm 6ft tall with a 24 inch shoulder span(measured how kings chassis told me) and a fire suit things get tight.
I'd also like a long wheelbase fed sort of like a 60's early 70's style chassis. I have everything but a good block to make a 351 cleavor.
I talked to king chassis about making me a fed a few years ago my shoulder span unfortunately doesn't allow for a copy and paste car and would...

I was going to order a 1 3/4" die a smaller radius makes more sense as its more common for full body cars the bender will make me some money...
most of those are for full body cars even the pre bent dragster chassis will not work for me due to my size
jd2 model 3 biggest die is 7.5" radius that's most likely the die I will order anyway.
