Your missing something? Maybe you just priced out the frame. Add in the suspension components like there front clips have and the max G chassis frame all said and done is going to more like 11,000.00 or higher the last time I looked into them.

I ended up going with UC's, LC's, ATS spindles and the Gbar from Marcus at SC&C. That's front/rear suspension upgrades that should drastically help the car all for the price that's thousands less of just one subframe. Might check into that. Just ordered so don't have feedback yet.

Remember that has the cost of the Front subframe, rear suspension, sub frame connectors all in one, so the cost in not that much more.

Then add about 150 hours of shop time to fabricate and replace the floor of the car, fabricate body mounts etc. https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...4&postcount=16

Cost is NOT a basis for going to a full frame under a first gen F-body.
