They were right! Re-welding all the pan cracks and adding some cage material. New body should go on next week.

So, so impressive.

I'll try and keep this kind of thing in mind when putting a cage together!

I would first #1. Not get hit by a Class 1 at speed and #2. Don't drive into a three foot wash at speed, both have dire consequenses to the pan and body. Oh yea, #3. Don't roll the car either!

What did we do wrong????

see you went with a late model Deathmobile type body with the big bumpers. As for the question about what you did wrong Eh uuuh how did you get it up there?

The lifing up wasn't so bad, but getting enough butter to lubricate it so that it would slide over the cage...

It is the body given to us by Scott at Metal Craft Transmissions. We don't have correct fenders yet but might hack up some old style to match.

nice did you jump up and down on the roof to get it on?

I recommend shouting it into place. Works for us. That or a bigger hammer. Or mayonnaise.
