thanks Brian......by the looks of things Im going to use alot more of the racecar than I originally thought......i think I'll end up welding the body directly to the Cup chassis......not a body on frame set up like the original chevelle......being the racecar is a 2000 model the floors and trunk pans are in great shape unlike the Chevelle
