Everything is moved over to the new sub frame and the sub frame is bolted to the body. The shop is going to start the car Monday before all the sheet metal is bolted on to be sure everything functions properly. The old sub frame did take a hit, the motor and transmission mounts all broke. The engine and transmission are fine as the sub frame and sheet metal took the brunt of the hit. All of the suspension was moved to the new sub frame without breaking apart the original ball joints, I preferred they not risk damage to the original components. The front control arms, drag link, wheels, tires, and brakes were moved as a unit after compressing the springs. It was very bulky, but the best way to make the move. I’ll get more pictures of the car running with no sheet metal.
