I used to know an old experienced welder who would set parts up out of square, and then weld them up fully.
After welding they would be dead square because he knew which direction the parts would warp.
At the time I was not a welder, but now wish I had listened!

You are going to need to retrieve your eyeballs from the back of your head.
I'm running a Midas and loving every minute of it.

Maserati build their space frame chassis in a big steel jig, when they take the chassis out it won't go back in again due to distortion. They stick a long piece of wood or a bit of tube in the chassis at a strategic point, give it a bit of a tweak and it then drops back into the jig, job done.

When I built my first chassis I welded the base then when it warped I put one end on a 3x2 and jumped on it before I started on the uprights and top. If it's only a few millimetres don't worry about it the suspension will give you wiggle room and when it's built it will handle like nothing you've driven before.

There's a few people round here building and there's a supplier in hartlepool. Let me know if you decide to do one, or need any tips or questions.
