We started off with this body that had a good frame and decided to use one of my other Regal bodies that was good but had a bad frame. The GN/T top body we will use for another custom build with Hermance Designs.

We started with stripping the frame, reinforcing the welds and installing a frame notch kit. Then adding poly urethane bushing, new springs, shocks, control arms, and etc.

Here we stripped the body and under coated the bottom of the car. Then we set it on it's new frame. We didn't have to do a lot of body work. Fitted the parts and primed the body. Also we smooth out the steel bumpers and added GNX vents.

We will be installing 19x12 on 345/30/19 rear and 19x10 on 265/35/19 front. That's why we notched the frame. Here are pics installing mini tubs.

Here we go! Almost done have a few more things to do. Then we go to the next phase Interior and drivetrain. I believe the 19" wheels have the car sitting a little too high.

Looking good, love those cars. Yeah, it's high but wait until you've got everything in there (interior, drivetrain, etc) and that'll bring it down a bit. After that, reassess the ride height. If you can manage to tuck the wheels a bit, it'd look really nice.
