I've read other's posts that did it but aside from the no talent thing, I don't have the tools and not much room so this is where I start giving money away for someone who does possess those attributes. Since the Chevelle is already a driver I was thinking instead of downing it for what would probably end up MONTHS, I could possibly get a 2nd frame, build that up and then transfer the body over to it. This would essentially cut down on my downtime. Also, I could install the rest of the parts myself as long as I didn't need much more than basic tools. So...in you guy's opinion, would it be worthwhile/smart/budget friendly to go with the second frame idea? Keep in mind that I could probably get friends to help me with the teardown but any welding, powdercoating, etc. of either frame would be done by professionals. I'm just not sure where to start as this is the foundation of the rest of the build. Also, I have a 10 bolt now and am planning to switch to 12 bolt. Ideally I'd like to find someone here in north Texas that can be trusted to do the work but if there was another way I'm all ears (eyes). To sum it up:
1. Lack the talent (welding, p-coating)
2. Really want to run 10" wide wheel in the rear
3. Would like to install the suspension parts myself
4. Enjoy the idea of a professional keeping things in perfect alignment

Why don't you make a phone call to Detroit Speed and Engineering and find out what they did to Kyle's Chevelle to get the tires under it?
