I am a newbie and am building a rack for the chasis i will receive in Jan. Do you have the dimensions for the support locations on the chasis and do you have a recommended height for the "jack stands" I am old so don't want to suck it in too much when i crawl under the vehicle. Will use a crawler.

Also, do you have information or a contact for making a wood dashboard. I assume i can mount one to the backing you provide but how thick can i make it and still have it fit.

This is the first of many many questions....and oh by the way i do realize that there are stupid questions. I have allocated 14 for myself. When those are gone i am done

As for the chassis dolly, I just used one of the larger furniture dollys from Harbor Freight (http://www.harborfreight.com/1000-lb-capacity-movers-dolly-38970.html) For the jack stands, just adjust them so the height is good for you. Check on FFCars.com for your wood dash. Several builders have already done that and there is no sense in re-inventing the wheel.
