A frame is a pretty serious piece. However, the kit car companies do it. I would do it under a subsidiary company in case something did happen.
Right I have a pretty substantial contract already for the Frames we build for the 55-57's.

Go with C5 suspension... much better stuff, and getting easier to find than C4 stuff IMHO. Making the differentials stand alone (w/out the trans axle) is not to difficult.

And at that price, are the customers going to have to source thier own parts?
LOL, This guy don't know me very well do he, lol. You might check out the link in my sig

Seriously the reason I'm doing this is because I'm tired of the C4 suspensions and I want to go all C5/6. But I have a fully developed and tested frame why just discontinue it. As I get my other C5/6 chassis online and tested, including my C5/6 Differential Adapter that turns the stock trans-axle into a stand alone differential, I'll stop building the C4 rolling chassis and welded frames all together and just do the kit frames and my lovely C5/6 frames.

Thanks guys
