Greetings all,

I have blasted, filled, and primed the frame. Now it is time to get it back under the body to continue with the wood reconstruction.

I have a question as to the structure, I need to accurately represent the frame as it will be when actually on the springs, in order to get the body fit correct. My question is this. Does this picture (proposed frame cart) provide enough support as to not flex the frame, or do I need to use all 8 bearing points?

I also plan to include lateral support to the cart, so the question is more about frame rigidity.

Yes, I know that it is upside down, I am just going over some ideas, and this represents a very convenient way to build the cart. Any thoughts?
