Didja cut the other side yet? I looked at it last night and I think once you cut the other side and split the diff it should not need much of a push to come into alignment. I think a little push from a porta power and at the same time a bit of pull on the top and you should be good to go. I think it will be allot easier to pull the top in since it is just the model A cross member in there and the bottom has the GIANT X.

get some angle iron, cut notch them to the widths you need, and use a ratchet strap to pull it together and tack them on....

Looks good Ross. Have you ever thought of putting on those side nerf bars to make getting in and out easier?

Wouldn't one want to wait to paint the chassis until the whole car is mocked up or assembled? There are tabs here, brackets there. . . oh shit, this doesn't fit, gonna have to move the pedals, etc. Just my .02 and you're car will still probably be done before mine:)
