Here’s the one I was thinking of…

…a 16 Track Pack for 42k with 35k miles and a rebuilt title, supposedly “light bumper” but aren’t they all

Nice Speedmaster

Also, take it off to work on your car man!

Well… pulled the trigger. It’s off to the body shop

So it begins…..

Out of curiosity, what were you quoted for the frame/chassis work? I’ve never paid for that service and honestly have no idea. I’m guessing it’s dependent on damage severity and amount of disassembly involved it could be as much as a custom alignment ($200) or a nice metallic paint job (few thousand).

The frame pulls and getting everything back to OE spec is going to be shy of $1k. The paint work and finally assembly quote is coming tomorrow. I’m assuming it will be a couple grand. Maybe 3-5k all in.

Trying to add some short clips of them pulling and tapping. Call this evening was that the car is reacting well to the initial pulls. Tomorrow they will measure again and start dialing it in. Not sure how much y’all want to see but figured I haven’t seen many post showing frame repairs on a 350 and this is a first for me so I find it interesting. I’ll keep posting what they send me. Hope yall enjoy.

$1,000 is definitely not nothing, but for quality frame pulling on a GT350 I think you’re getting some solid pricing.

Much more affordable than I was imagining!

Thats pretty cool, thanks for sharing!

Do you know if these measurements are publicly available?

Can they be purchased from Ford?

I’m taking notes because I’d love to obtain a salvaged GT350/500 one day.

Not sure as those measurements were sent to me by the body shop

They are in the official Ford work shop manual, that can be sourced (maybe only on grey market).

Wow, that is way more an art form than I was expecting. Very cool.

 

[19GT35006]

Will be good as new by time they’re done. Anybody know any performance shops in Houston for motors on these gt350’s? Thinking of having it all gone through and maybe adding a GT350 Whipple 3.8L Competition Supercharger Kit.
