Kinda like the guys did in the old days when addinging subframes to straight axle vehicles.
Draw everything out on the floor.
I agree you will have to assemble some of the crossmember,... but without springs in place it shouldn't be too hard to mock up exactly where you want the wheel to set in the front fenders.
Or am I over simplifying things?
That’s almost exactly what I have in mind. I want to get all of the DEG parts bolted in place, hang the rear suspension, and plot the front from there. I plan to temporarily hang the front suspension and steering to see what works best for visual and functional placement, then drill and bolt for final install.
