    MAD PROPS to the team that does a Chassis swap outside on the street. Truly heroic and inspirational stuff.

    Congratulations on the road side chassis swap very inspriational. Did you work from a checklist or just go in reverse order of assembly?

    What parts would you suggest stocking up on before hand?

    I am facing a 109 chassis swap in the near future.

    I think we should have a Frame Swap meet up and do several at one time!
    I would be more than happy to let folks help swap my frame

    Very nice job! 2 weeks time isn't bad at all... did you work on it every day, or were there some breaks in between? Besides the cost of the frame, approximately how much more did it cost you for supplies and pieces? I'm trying to get an idea as I've been starting to pitch the idea to my wife...
