<p>A versatile vehicle frame and method of making which includes a plurality of substantially straight, horizontal members (16, 26, 30) connected with connecting hips (12, 14) having complex geometries. All contours and curves are incorporated into these hips (12, 14), thus allowing the remainder of the frame to utilize substantially straight members (16). The vehicle frame permits a variety of frame lengths and widths by providing a variety of straight members having differing lengths. This versatility results in significantly reduced manufacturing costs and model flexibility mid-program.</p> |
