Body Swapping

The frame swap question come up a lot. Many of the usual responders.
However, there is another way to go. It's just as intensive, and the results still require a lot of finish work.
This guy does them down and dirty. I wouldn't want to argue with insurance if there is a collision, and it shows where changing the footprint causes issues. Still having fun.

This guy did this one, and it worked surprisingly well. He usually doesn't do this type of thing. The result was also worked on by other channels.

Then there is the guy that does it all to a very high level. For those that want to learn what it take to get things show quality, he covers that too. If you can't bother with following along on a double digit build series, you probably can't do the body prep to get show quality results either.

I do enjoy watching Casey’s, even if the chassis he uses aren’t in my style. I like to see how he works around everything.

 

He's a whiz at gettin it done. He also shows why you don't do some things, either by explanation or showing why! Make sure the brakes work before the test drive, kids!

 

Rich Rebuilds has come a long way from fixing totaled Teslas as a channel goal.

Body swaps are something I’d never watch or get into as it’s usually one look and you can tell something isn’t right. Frame swaps are usually much better

 

Yeah, tons of work, big and small things to deal with. Often compromises are required.
Did you see the van go down the track? Long video for short highlights.
