Does anyone know if there is someone out there selling complete front clips, not engine craddles. I am looking to cut the rails and fenders out of my 2002 WS6 TA from the firewall forward, install a complete cage in the car, runing out the front to a tubular front chassy.

Thanks.

I would think that if you're serious about removing that much of the front end of the car, you'd need to talk with a shop that specializes in chassis fabrication. It's certainly not a home garage, over a weekend project.

Why are you wanting to cut the entire front end off the car and start from scratch?

With the availability of all the tubular bolt-on suspension pieces there is not much if any need for it (look at a outlaw 10.5 car still retain stock front frame rails)

I would also agree that it's a huge undertaking and would require professional fabrication equipment and the knowledge of how to use it to do it properly IMO...

I have done three other cars before. Just not a newer f body. It is not all that dificult, if you buy the right stuff.

The wheel studs sheered off the rear drivers side and I lost control, slid into a pole, and it cut the front bumber, headlights, radiator and intercooler off the car. It bent the wheel wells. I had the BMR turbo engine craddle in it. That is one strong **** peice! It is not harmed at all!

So the car is gone unless I just tube the front end and mate it to a cage.
