They don't actually have a frame, so that would be pretty hard to do. they do have subframes that bolt on. But I think I may have said earlier, it would be easier to build a custom frame than attempt to make a unibody car have one.They may have cut it apart to make it easier, but I'd have to see them use the undercarriage before I'd believe they used the frame. I grafted a Fox chassis under a 1940 Desoto years ago and it was very time consuming, however I wasn't attempting to mount a 'glass body on an otherwise flimsy foundation. Without the body the chassis would not only need cut in length it would need and enormous amount of extra structure to make it ridgid. Then there is the width. That's why I suspect that you are referring to an FFR car, which uses the underpinnings but discard the shell.
