My thinking behind the 6'x17' frame table was so that I could mount the body and components where I wanted them at ride height, then build my frame around the components. The outside of the tires are roughly 6' and the front to back of the body is 17'.
I see what you are saying about the removable crossmembers, I had considered building some for resting where the components will go. IE one below the engine mounts, one below the tranny mount, etc etc.
I have been getting better at designing in Sketchup little by little, I'm starting to think I may be able to design the frame without having all the pieces assembled for a reference like I had originally planned.
