The incredible folding Cuda!

I would not do any cutting before you know the car is square to the floor.

I would check all the fender, hood gaps. Jack the car around (up down what ever) untill it looks good with the tin on and call that my "number" numbers cuz you got a lot of measurements to take.

Then i would brace the car and reproduce those numbers with the new front clip.

I just got done cutting the back half off a customer truck and rebuilding it beacuse his "good deal" on a frame was total garbage.
