Complete the box rail frame, by folding the end rails.
Both front and rear form the same way.

The end rails consist of a three sided box tube
and a fourth side that is longer (matching the overall width of the floor pan).

Fold the first three sides to form the box shape.



...
Then fold the entire box rail, including the longer strip, into the floor pan.



...
Glue the box rail directly to floor panel A.
At the same time, glue the longer strip to the open ends of the side box rails.

Repeat this procedure at the rear end of the chassis (Panel B).



...
Your finished chassis (box rail floor pan) should look like this (next photo).
Keep squaring up the box rails as the glue is drying.
Glue cure time varies...
but you can manipulate the parts for quite sometime before the glue sets completely.

Try to make your frame as square and straight as possible.



...
Heres another shot of the rear end of the frame.
