Slice and dice

Time this stuff gets real, we take the sawzall to the chassis. we welded up an extra supporting member between the suicide doors and then dropped the chassis from there to the rear bumper. To keep the body square, we welded up a support cage arcing from the rear bumper up to the package tray and then back down to the door frame. We mounted that frame to the chassis/k-member at six points with poly bushings.
