Im going to use Acton Ace3001 as a donor chassis. The current album documents issues with that chassis. I will start a new album for the build.
In the next few weeks/months:
1. Cut off front tower and control arm tabs
2. Cut off rear tower and rear lower control arm mounts
3. Source/fabricate pieces to rebuild front and rear towers.
4. Locate source for front control arms
5. Extend main 4 inch frame rails by 3/8 of inch as they are short and that affects rear tower location, lower control arm location, and wheelbase:



Frame rails should be 8 feet and 3/4 inch:
