I've found over the years that if you get all your major components,(body, engine,trans, rear end, tires, etc.) and lay them out where you like them, then head to the lumber yard and buy some 2X4s' and cut them to make a frame, similar to a "T" roadster frame (cheaper than steel tubing), when you are done you have the patterns for you rectangle tubing. The left over lumber always comes in handy for impromtu jack stands and shims.
