Roll the old frame out,roll the new frame in, bolt the front clip back on. No lifting of the body,less chance for accidents or damage and its only a little extra work.

I would not recommend this, it's very hard to re-align the front sheet metal.

Otherwise it looks good Chad :thumbsup:

I would drop the sub-frame from underneth the car..

Chad,

Any updates?

I've got LOTS of parts in my garage and house. Picked up most of the parts from TCI last Saturday which got me motivated. Disconnected most of the things I need to unbold the subframe and drop it.

However, in the meantime I can share this very timely video. My car will be on the 2011 October issue of Popular Hotrodding.

Pay attention to the last thing I say in this video lol!

I was supposed to join my Dad and Brother at the Reno Air Races this weekend as I'm there most years. However, after the horrific crash I cancelled my flight and may work on the car or head out to Buttonwillow instead. I'm super super thankfull my family is ok. My Dad and Brother were about 150 feet from the crash. When the plane came down both of them dove for cover and banged themselves up pretty good diving for cover. Bro was shaking for about 30 minutes as he thought for sure he was dead. I still can't believe it. Both of them have seen fatal wrecks at Reno but never anything like this let alone almost being injured/killed as well.

EDIT: Found a pic of the cover. Sadly it doesn't exactly feature my car a whole lot but I guess that is what happens when you car is used for a cover picture but not featured in the mag. Still, it was a neat experience.

Here's the version I wished they used for the final cover :(

There's something wrong in that picture... the shop is like REALLY clean, but there is no woman there.

Chad first tihing I'm glad your family is ok, I saw pictures of the crash it was unbelievable. The car looks great on that cover maybe next time they'll use it.

Glad your family is ok! Your car looks awesome man. Congrats on PHR! I'm eager to see more of your update. Thanks for the build thread.
