should be ok but it may be worth investigating what is causing it.

when i built my chassis i fully welded parts as i went.

first i tacked then welded all the bottom rails fully so i had a solid base then worked upwards fully welding in stages.

i really dont agree with the idea of tacking the whole chassis up first then going around and welding it at the end as the pure nature of the welding process will cause stuff to move which will spread unnecessary stresses around all the tacks on the chassis.

westfield, caterham and many other manufactures make their chassis in pieces then join them all together as it allows you work to a tolerance on individual parts rather than a whole chassis.
