Default Question? $2,500 C4 Corvette TriFive all new frame Think there's a maket?

So I've been working with cooler and cooler technology and I've come up with an idea to convert my 55-57 frame for the guys who want to do it at home. A completely new frame for the 55-57's that takes the C4 corvette suspension front and rear that a guy with decent skills could build in his garage at home. It comes in a few UPS boxes, in a pile of parts and its all pegged and slotted tubing and flat steel cut on a CNC laser. So all a normal guy would need is 3x F clamps, a 2' x 5' flat table to clamp to, measuring tape, decent welding equipment and the knowledge to use it. And I'll do a full set of videos online so you can watch me showing how to do the frame with just the above mentioned tools. No huge frame jig and no super crazy measuring equipment needed.

Does it sound interesting? Does it sound like the right price range for the do it yourself guys? I know my 6k frame is just over the top for most guys and without the new CNC technology you could have never built this frame without my massive jig. But now if you could imagine all the parts keyed like a jig saw puzzle so you can't even mix up the parts. Then the only way to screw it up is if you don't give it the cool down time the parts need after you clamp them to the flat table and weld them out.

Please tell me what you think, I'm open to any and all suggestions.
