I call the household "frame" in the "C" this is just a notch feedback not to go out of alignment and level.

the suspension is twin i bean in the old chassis I will change to arms control with air-balloon

I am sorry my English is somewhat weak! :D

Did you check the level of the floor before starting?

^^^ Does that matter?

Seems to me (in my mind anyways) that he could be building it on the side of a hill, but as long as its up in the air and his level is showing good he should be fine.

But I have no experience at all building a chassis, or framework. SO ... :hmm:

The bubble in the level will always read true level but if you don't start off by setting level what the frame is propped up on then you are defeating the purpose of the level.
