Do you have access to a loader to bend the frame back up? If not put it on a car trailer chain car down and jack up the frame behind the notch. Prebend as much as you can if not it will continue to go south. Congrats on the win hell even im more redneck than that lol, we got this big ass tree we plan on using. that and a huge drop off and a field with terraces. And by D pillars, those are the very back pillars right? just got offered an '88 Caprice Classic that has a 350. runs and drives, just beat up for $500, good deal? I was planning on getting it and sedagoning it, notching, pre bending, welding a arms forward, putting my 12 bolt rear in it, running on DDOT rules if it helps. its that or an olds delta 88. 80's+ show. aaah speaking of redneck and huge trees and bad ideas how about a dirt ramp built up next to ta gigantanormous (3-4 ft dia)hardwood tree at the angle you want your rear end to go up to. back into the tree at high speed all across the rear end. if more angle is desired just get a loader and dump more dirt on the ramp. or wait.. use the loader to prebend

Any body got pictures of a full cradle mounted in one of these? I sat mine in with out the dp just to get mounts in place and mark for tranny cross member and the mid plate is already pressed against the fire wall(no room for dp) and the oil pan cover won't let me go forward. Any advice or pictures?

Yes, I made my dp bolt on for various reasons. But I already porta powered from bumper to firewall and pushed body back and firewall in an inch or two. I could try to go more but it was pushing frame in front of firewall down quite a bit.

I could try to go more but it was pushing frame in front of firewall down quite a bit. I think what hes meaning is bolt on your dp and get motor trans all together, set into place, porta power between engine and bumper and just make the body form around the cradle.
