Lots of chassis pics, I am putting them here for reference for me and anyone else who might be able to use them.

If anyone has one of these chassis laying around they want to see gone, let me know.

A lot of heavy stuff going on. You have help?
Wollfen
Old Man with a Hat
Nope, I do it all myself. I only ever ask the neighbors hand to lift things that are too heavy or awkward for one person, so that's hardly ever.

Wow. How old are you again?
Wollfen

Wait, you want to replace the stub?
Wollfen

I wish I had the energy and enthusiasm of 20!

Yup, about 5 ft of the bottom of the left had side of the chassis is rotted away, couple less feet on the right hand side but finding another one would be far easier than all the repairs this one needs. I'm sure the rest of it is thinner too, it had a lot of crud packed inside it.

I have a solid one with a slight kink, love to find it a home instead of scrap but it's from a '70 vert and a 300, 2 strikes....
Wollfen

I am going to have to check on whats what with that one, how bad is the kink?
Samplingman

It's repairable, you can see the kink in the upper center of this picture. It would need some mods, namely the extensions past the trans cross member, and the torsion bar extended tubes would need to be removed. The rails are solid, just surface stuff. It's a shame, finding one in the northeast that's not completely rusted through is impossible.

They are retired.

Okay I see what you mean, I would pass on this, I already have two other chassis like this one, one out of a Chrysler Newport and one out of a 1970 Plymouth Fury Convertible. Also note that the forward mounts are at a different height to the later frame to compensate for the thickness of the rubber isolators. I may have to take a three hour drive to buy a car I know is available, Just haven't eyeballed it yet so I don't know the condition of the chassis.
Samplingman

Right, the isolators, and that would be strike three!

Frame is stripped and tomorrow I will turn it over to take pics of just how bad this thing is, then I will tell you guys later about why I am somewhat pissed.

Check this out, imagine hitting a big pothole on the highway, imagine what might have happened!
All I did was pop the top ball joint off and the spindle fell off!
