You can take the frame off a unibody car?

Me three. That would make for a great spread in a Mopar Magazine....if there are any left out there.

my 68 GTX, beautiful frame off restoration,

 

[RemCharger]

I'm pretty sure this is a sale thread hence..............

^^^^ and to be fair, the subframe/k frame was very possibly removed in this restoration.

 

[kiwigtx]

Relocated that For Sale thread without the OP, so we can discuss the merits of a full frame-off restoration here without breaking the rules.

 

[moparedtn]

Fine, I'll state the obvious.
Rails ain't a full frame, nor are k-members...
The oft-misused term "full frame-off" refers to the free-standing frame assembly,
separate from a cabin/chassis assembly.
Unitized/uni-body assemblies are an obviously different critter.

indeed, maybe the term is not the right one, and that restoration rotisserie is more apropriate, but I am not American and I was not on the exact term.
Maybe a simple explanation would be smarter than mockery, don’t you think?
or to give interesting advice or congratulations to stay stuck on a term?
A bit of a shame to receive such messages for such a car, no need haters.
respect and politeness please.

 

[gdrill]

I agree

You can do a lot of interesting things with a uni-body car. This was my A-body.

Not a "frame-off" restoration. Can we call it a "top-off" restoration ?

Typically the term 'Frame-off restoration' is used by Chevy guys......guys that have no business messing with a Mopar in the first place.
