Hook it up to a frame machine first. Pull the whole chassis straight then start cutting. You'd be better off looking ing drag racing tech.

I agree.

That car looks like it was hit really hard. On one hand, if you pulled it back straight, it might make a good candidate for what you want to try, as it's pretty much worthless as is. On the other hand, it might take a lot of time and money to get to a point where it is actually usable.

I'm confused. Did you start the build? Finish the build and crash it.

Yeah, your def gonna have to pull that thing straight before you do anything. Might want to reconsider even using it. You could probably buy a decent shell for what youre going to end up spending.

Like you, I was at first confused (maybe still am!!), but it appears the OP bought a rolling shell, and stripped the crashed car for drivetrain parts....

I see, so he's got this shell, left over, that he wants to do something with. Got it.
