I've been slowly working on the frame. A friend gave me a C4 Vette roller. I stripped it down and turned it over. Then I tack welded 2 by 2 tubing to the frame rails. Then tacked together jigs for the suspension points.
I had a jig base from an earlier build. I turned it over and tacked the C4 jig to it. The C4 wasn't perfectly square so I'm addressing that in my build.
My idea for this frame is to be able to use it with a few different bodies. One is Lakester style T bucket. I wanted to keep the wide rear to narrow front look for the T bucket so I'm building the frame with that taper. For the Cheetah body I'm planning to weld up body supports that will attach to the frame. I'm not sure if that will work or not. I'll see when I get the Cheetah body. Anyway here is my progress.
