Dean, I did not build the Unique Body buck I made one that allowed for more access to the body and is on wheels. I lent it to a friend on his project a Daytona Coupe on a Unique Frame. You may find that others on the forum may still have their body bucks for you to borrow. Mine is three pieces one under each of the foot boxes and a tall sawhorse on a platform that goes under the high shelf in the trunk. all three pieces have locking casters, again to move the body around. You'll figure out what works for you.

Dean.....when I got my 427 I was very limited on Garage space. So I
built a body frame that was quite high and actually rolled it in and out
OVER the rolling chassis and engine when I finished up working on
either peice.
It actually worked out very well as you could STAND inside the engine
compartment to work on whatever and most other areas were very accessible
without too much bending down.
Sorry I don't have any drawings....it was all in the head.

Dean,
I agree with Ralph on the body buck. The one that is in the assembly manual is very strong and almost replicates the chassis exactly, however, the problem is you can not work on the underside of the car at all.

Mike,

Do you have photos of it?

Paul....I do have a few photo's of it at home somewhere.
send me your home mailing address and I'll forward them to you.
I'm not too good at this computer attachment stuff, so I'm sure that after I've scanned them and all that good stuff I'd never be able to get them on the wire.
My e-Mail address is geddesm@novachem.com.
PS....after you have finished with my style of frame you can use
the 2 X 4's for other good stuff.
