Note: Many of these pictures are very large. They make look jagged. Look for the icon that lets you view them at full size to fix that.
I took the car to Pro Chassis and Fab which Scotty Seals owns and runs. Scotty is a really good welder and fabricator just outside Atlanta. He did a ton of work on the car to get it headed in the right direction. His shop number is 678-858-8081.
Here is what he did:
Remove damaged subframes and install Maximum Motorsports subframes. I picked the super long length because the car doesn't have a roll bar or cage. Next he installed the Team Z K member and Strange coil overs and struts up front. It has stock a arms for now until I decide on a wheel. Scotty also tig welded an extension on my steering shaft because it was too short.
In the back he mini-tubbed the car. We used 9" housing ends and then were able to use a FMS brake kit that converts the rear to 11" disk brakes. The rear was narrowed 2". This will allow me to run the 17" drag radial setup I currently have, as well as run 325/50/15 drag radials using common size and backspace wheels. He also removed the gas tank and mounted a fuel cell in the spare tire well. I like the look of the cell and it allows me to mount my fuel pumps high and out of sight. Also not having the gas tank hang down lets me look at that cool suspension and fat 315/35/17 BF Goodrich drag radials.

Finished product
The car is going to run wheel spacers with the 17" setup to push the wheel out. These pictures are without spacers. I haven't decided what width spacers to get yet. More information about the parts used can be found on the suspension page.
Update: with 1/2" spacer. I like it. The studs stick out even with the hub now. The tire is even with the body of the car, which I like. Due to low light, I doctored the photos so you could see better.
