Help! Need chassis measurements CMC/Street Beast!

[BoatBuilder3]

So I discovered that somebody has cut my chassis at some point in time (why, I have no idea). From what I can tell, their work has caused the front suspension to be lower (effectively raising the front of the car). I want to fix this but need some help from you guys (measurements of your chassis).

This is what my chassis looked like upon delivery to the original owner (photo of actual chassis):


This is what it looks like now:


These are the dimensions I need (A,B,C,D):

Can't help but from the pictures it looks like they lengthened the wheelbase - considerably. Very strange.

Well, you know you need a 90" wheelbase, so really all you have to do is figure out the original angle of the front suspension to the frame. Looking at the original frame photo, I would guess the 2 front legs where the radiator mounts are parallel with the original rear section of frame where the outboards are located. Set everything on a level surface and make the rear parallel with the ground. Do the same with the front and match the front frame with the rear.

How long is the wheel base now? It looks to be about 8" longer? If you can't get measurements, just hack that section out, line everything up and weld it back together.

Do as Mr. Joyridin said. Start by cutting and grinding off the two square reinforcing plates on each side of the frame. If you have your body, locate the exact centers of the wheel wells and measure the distances so you can rebuild your chassis to fit the body exactly. I would remove all suspension and steering components first to lighten the piece up to make the work easier.

Agree with just cutting out the added pieces after verifying the wheelbase, but run a tape on the centers of the body wheel openings to be certain there will be no surprizes.
You could find out a lot by taking measurements off the body to see how close the frame is to fitting under it.
If it were not for the cold weather and the car being in storage would gladly take measurements.
