The other day I came across the Gt Forte 'flat pack' chassis kit. It's basically all of the tubes needed to build a space frame GT40 chassis pre cut and ready to be welded together.

Does any other company sell the same sort of thing? i.e. a chassis pack (or drawings of a chassis!) that, once it's put together, will fit a bodyshell they sell?

As others have said, I don't think a full jig's necessary to weld up a decent chassis provided you're careful. It's a project I'm looking to do with my dad in his imminent retirement - he's been a welder for about 40 years and he was happy with the idea!

It was specifically a GT40 chassis I was after. Quite a lot of people seem to have 7 style plans/'chassis packs' available. We were more or less about to order a pack from GT Forte then I did some 'due diligence' googling of them...
