The Beginning

I pulled the drivetrain and rear suspension at my auto club.

I got my rear suspension from a guy in an old warehouse with no roof. We got there at 10 at night and worked for two hours cutting the frame out of the car with a sawzall. It was cold, we were covered in fuel from one of the lines we cut through that was hidden behind the frame rail, on a dirt floor, with one spot light to help us along. We got it out and loaded in our rental pickup by 12:30AM. Heres what we came home with to Milwaukee.

We then strapped the rear suspension under my car so it would at least be rollable. We got the car to my buddies place and it sat there for 8-10 months as I stripped it down more and more.

Then I also got my front suspention from the Detroit area and started cutting that up some. Just to clear off some of the useless arms and pieces that I wouldnt be needing on my swap. Heres the chop of the suspension

Then after a week of geting back into the swing of things with the slicing and dicing of my car I severly sprained my ankle which killed the next two months. After I could crouch down and put pressure on my ankle I continued to cut the wheel wells and battery tray and fram out front the front

But I got the new suspension in so it can be tacked in to go to the framers place. I put in four braces across the suspens so I could take off the crossmember and not have to worry about losing my geometry within my strut towers when I cut off the front Trans Am frame bracket.
