A moment of silence...........  after pulling the rest of the body off and taking a crap load of measurements the frame is a loss. Pics to follow but to sum it up as you all wait for the pics the roof is bent every which way but square the b pillar is twisted and well missing chunks. Good news tho this project may not be dead yet..............just keep in the back of your mind a grandfathers ax. Sometimes you have to replace the handle sometimes you have to replace the head but.... its still grandpas ax more to follow on that.....

I sure hope you end up with the car you were supposed to! If you or the guys were closer I would say you could have access to my cnc mill, lathe or whatever else may be needed. Good luck! ------------------

OK here we go This really hurts posting these pics, if it was not for the hack job this was a beautiful frame.
Here you can see the right B pillar and it is well look at the pics.
Drivers side
Both sides I can get my finger into the right side more since it is not square and higher
Here is a pic of how bad the dash fit Chris could barley see out of it and it was taped in not bonded or bolted in and then mud was over the tape. 
John, here is were the roof is smashed up by him putting in what looks like a porta power and jacking the crap out of it bending the roof up and pulling it in.
I hope this pic turns out , shows how bent up the roof is
I put my back window template in it to check it further and it was sloppy all the way around
After discovering the mashed up roof line I grabbed a extra roof I had laying in storage and we used it to compare just how out of whack the center of the roof was.
we then threw a stock dash in it to see if the windshield would have even fitted with the chop and well that part he got right at least.
Chris is giving opinion of a he who remains unnamed chopping skills
Here we are taking more measurements to see just how bad it is bent up and what kind of hacking I would have to do to fix it.
And that's All folks and now for the sad part the car is too bent up to fix, between the missing parts and the poor construction this poor car died by the hands of that person. We made a collective decision that this car would be unsafe or impractical at this point to try and fix with so much of it hacked off missing or ruined. BUT!! there is hope, As we were going threw looking it over and looking at every option and angle we have found a solution..Stay tuned this is not over yet!

I will not turn this into a circus. But, I just want to say that the "satisfied customers" need to pull a panel or two on their cars.
I am too far away to help out physically, but my offer stands guys.
