^ what he said... it depends on your frame i guess... and possibly whatever the local scrap metal yard has in oversized square..

if you want to do suspension work i woild make it same width as the trackwidth of the car your building.... that way yióu can mount the spindles and rearend in the plates all the way outboard.. (and it wont obstruct too much....)

the length.. again same as your car... and have 4 bars across.. and 8 legs, one at each intersection....

and weld some large 3/4 inch nuts to the bottom of the legs so you can level it with 8 3/4 inch bolts as legs.. (make any sense)

and make sure you have a tab where you can mount your welding ground when you work

the height... id shoot for 3 feet
