I build thing from others plans. Most plans have problems. From what I have seen there are no cobra chassis plans that don't have problems with the numbers or missing numbers. They just don't add up.
If you could find a set of plans with good numbers it would easy to build accurately with no jig.

It can be done, of course. But I've seen more than a couple frames built from plans that are just too far out of square to work. It all boils down to the
person making it. It's an undertaking few really realize until they actually get into it. I'm speaking of replicated original type frames.
For me, I have access to a jig but I'm only interested in one frame.
