That GTX didn't look all that bad (from the available shots) before you took it all apart.

That's significant sheet metal you're doing!

I'll be sure to keep watching.

Incidentally, what's the XV stuff worth and how is it for quality? What did you end up getting from them?

Believe me, it was swiss Cheese. The only parts I have NOT had to change were.
rear frame rails
firewall (upper cowl replaced)
front cross rail frame member
floor from trunk pan to rear footwell
Roof
inner rocker panel

i have basialy built a new car.
I don't recall what the XV frame stiffening "package" cost, the price is on their web site. But I have installed the lower radiator support, which basially ties the front frame rails together under the radiator, the inner fender supports which go from the upper shock tower to the firewall, and will install the frame connectors as soon as I get the body stiff enough with the 1/4s and rockers to be able to flip it on the rotisserie. The quality of these parts is excellent. They fit right in as directed and I did not have to grind anything. The frame connectors I have not tried to fit yet but I expect there will be some minimal grinding at the least. They come pre-laser cut to conform to the floor pan so most of the hard work should be done.
