the frames are actually pretty flat and straight forward so if you plan on cutting the front off for a new clip and also cutting the rear for putting a big c notch in then you might as well just fab a whole new frame with the width you need.otherwise you end up with a new (used) front part, an old middle section, and then a new rear part.
what are you trying to end up with as an outcome? stock height, low rider, slightly lowered, just power steering and brakes with IFS up front and decent rear suspension?
