Installing New Frame


Installing the new frame. We started in the rear insuring the body bushings were lining up and moving forward.

Damaged Frame








This is a view of the damaged frame.
As you can see, the only piece of metal holding the frame together is the strap of steel welded to the front. Sometime in the cars life, someone was looking to get killed.
