Anyone got any ideas for a simple chassis jig for a one time build? 150" WB.

Foot Feed:
I mulling over the design for my jig. I'm thinking of making it bolt together for ease of adjustment during the chassis build and storage later.

I've got some 3" square tube for the crosspieces, but I'm trying to figure out if I should use an I beam, channel welded back to back, or square (rectangle) tube for the main beam of the fixture.

Any pictures of your jig would be appreciated too.

Thanks!

Ken

Ken I would use an I-beam just a few feet longer than your build.

I am selling a 160" CEN-PENN chassis let me know if you are interested. May save you some time on your build. The pipe is just tacked so it is in its beginning stages, easy to change to your ideas.

 I used some channel I had bent up from piece of scrap 1/8 steel I picked up and salvage yard.If I had it to do ove I would have just bought 2 piece of 6" I beam and mafe a permant jig.I am very limited on space so I made it so I could tear it down easy enough.

Dolmetsch:
I built both my rails and an altered on a wooden jig made from 2 x10s and2x4s.I took a lot of flak over it but have no idea why. It is either straight or it isnt. Worked well. I could clip the tubing in with HD rubber bands and fit all the parts  and then cut it free when done.   Have lent it out twice to others and gave it to a fellow north of here as I had mistakenly thought I had done my last build.
