Dave, I've wondered the same as I bought a second hand chassis too. mine was already a rolling chassis though, so at least I have the reassurance that the wish bones are in an appropriate place for them to function.
I started the ' car building' process thinking it'd all be about fine tolerances and components that were aligned to thousands of a millimetre.... then: a) someone pointed out to me how much a tyre deformed during cornering, etc. and b) I read a story somewhere of a chap who measured his production salon car ( model I think) and found it was over 10mm longer one side than the other...! getting body panels etc to fit shouldn't be add problem, grp is pliable. if a jig is used for wishbones then they'll be aligned correctly to function. in terms of it looking like a banana, if it looks ok to the eye, none will know if you've had to do some correction in the set up...
