Not sure what advice you might be looking for ?

Gonna construct and mount the body atop frame rails or a full caged tubular chassis ?

But I'm here to see your next step.

You'll have to fabricate the interior. Check out the Scale Accessories pages, I think there's some ideas there for making racing seat pans, but you might have to scale up, because I believe the ones I saw, were for a 1/10 truck.

Here comes the first soldering with it.
https://abload.de/img/dsc02862_a4fp1s.jpg

Only with spacers on the body,
let's see how I get on.

Hello,

yesterday again a bit bent, cut, filed and soldered.
Here's the approximate of the two beams.
https://abload.de/img/dsc02864_a22rtr.jpg
First view from the passenger side.
https://abload.de/img/dsc02865_aizr14.jpg
Driver's side.
https://abload.de/img/dsc02867_a6ipwy.jpg
The overhang is so desired, for the rear struts.
And again all from behind.

and temporarily screwed to the body.
https://abload.de/img/dsc02870_a37ol9.jpg

So I like the side views.
Rear view still without bracing and spare wheel.
https://abload.de/img/dsc02873_ag3osq.jpg
Just a 2.2 wheel placed on the rear.
