Did you cut off 2" of the Camaro frame - then weld those 2" back on and plate in the difference between the Beretta core support and the Camaro frame rails?
If so - good thing you kept the Camaro frame chunks around to weld back on.
It sucks working on a project - throwing something out and having to either fab or buy new again!

Yeah .....I over cut the rails in order to properly position the body fornt to back and make sure the wheel wells were centered over the tires.....it would have been too hard to know exactly where to cut everything and have it all line up which is why I'm now doing all this tedious patch work now......I knew I would need these
