The Donor car measured out great so I will use it to build a fixture for the 6.


Great thread! Is your 6's chassis bent? Based on what you've said above, I'm wondering if you're going to make fixtures for your bench based on the donor and then will be straightening the 6 chassis to fit those jigs..... If so, I'll be very interested in how you do this.

This fixture will be removable from the table so that it can be used on the front of the car once the car is on the rotisserie. Since I will be replacing the front tub, it will help get the torsion perches back in place.

Yes, the car was hit pretty hard in the past and not properly fixed. I will use the fixture to true the 6. I'll be removing a large portion of the fornt of the car and the long on the drivers side due to the long being bent.

I got some more done on the fixture today. the fronts pretty much done and the rear is started. The front mounts at the four seporate rack mount points and centers on the OD of the mount points as the rack/suspension mount does and picks up the front torsion perches for properly locating them. I added brackets so I can do a soft pull if needed from the fixture to get the damaged car back into place. This would be done only after much of the metal is removed and taking care not to put any stress on the fixture. It looks like the 6 will need to be moved a bit in front.

The rear of the fixture is almost done and I hope to have the 6 mounted on it by the end of the next weekend. Can't wait to cut into the 6.
