Doug, there is quite a bit of interest in a replacement frame. A few questions I have, since this a scratch build can I assume that you have done your homework and the suspension design has been run through some sort of simulation program? I ask because it appears to be off the shelf style Mustang II control arms. They seem very short and would result in high roll center migration as well as a fairly short FVSA length.
What type of rear suspension are you running, it looks like an attempt at some form of Satchell link, albeit not a very good attempt? I hate to be critical but many of your prospective buyers do not know any better and it wouldn't take long to develop a bad rap for putting out an inferior chassis.
Some advise if you are interested, work on the front end design some more. This a scratch build, might as well do it right the first time. Same with the rear, why not a 3-link and PHB? Put some adjustments in it so the straight line guys can dial in some anti-squat.
There are a lot of folks who would be willing to pay top dollar for a well designed and constructed chassis that would correct all the short comming sof the typical "A" body chassis. Heck, I know of a dozen right now considering having C5 chassis' fitted to thier 'velles. I'm sure you could build a chassis and make a mountain of money for less than a fab shop will charge to retro a C5 chassis....not to mention somebody has buy that C5.
