Yeah - sketchy but it isn’t terrible for an east coast car. Worse have been saved . . . At a cost.
Measure the tub carefully before you invest lots of time or $ into this chassis. I can’t imagine it having been hit that hard and not needing a pull on a frame rig to square it back up. |

I can’t imagine it having been hit that hard and not needing a pull on a frame rig to square it back up. We have seen much worse (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) I took a couple basic measurements and things look not terrible. As time allows I will open it up more and see what I am dealing with. Wondering if I can remove the creased portion, straighten it out and weld it back in place? |

It is nice that I haven’t seen any chicken wire associated with the project. But let’s be fair. Suppose one was young, uninformed, or even older and uninformed yet you got hands on a 914. The outcome is gonna resemble the abilities to work or pay for work or even in some cases to believe that work has been done. I honor the people who bring these cars back from the brink. For now.
