Re: Doing a full frame

Thanks guys for mentioning a frame table. I am planning on building one out of wood, something simple but much more level than the floor. Any suggestions for doing the rollcenter and all of the calculations beforehand? I'm assuming start with wheelbase, and what types of link setup and all of that, but should I just start there and let the work begin or is there a more mythodical approach?
