ya, looks like he hit a wall head on....if that frame is good why can I see the steering rack and sway bar? The bumper horns are wayyyy up there. Rockers are buckled and doors are drooped.

They must have a great frame machine.

Relax, all right? My old man is a television repairman, he's got this ultimate set of tools. I can fix it.

If I was Chassisworks, I would probably send them a new sub frame so I could use that one for a selling point for future business. I am amazed that they are saying it's not damaged.
My worst fear while building mine is the possibility of wrecking it.

I dont.... didnt stick around.

I agree with the others. That frame has to be compromised. As a Chassisworks dealer I can attest to the quality of their frames. But this looks like a solid head on impact. I can only assume that the drivetrain pushed all the way to the rear perhaps damaging the driveshaft etc. The frame mounts for the motor as well as body mounts to the floor had to buckle under impact. Looks like the impact bowed the frame upwards which would tend to pull downwards at the floor mounts.
