In most cases I've seen where the manufacturer will sell the chassis separate from the body the chassis is relatively cheap. For example you can buy the Classic Revival chassis is AU$3,530 where as the body is AU$6,750. For the effort involved in setting up a jig to hold everything straight then buying all the steel, making all the brackets, welding it all together and getting it engineered you won't be saving a lot of money.

A known good chassis will probably be a factor in resale too. You will also have a wealth of set up knowledge to draw on from others who run the same chassis.

Cheers
