Frames and Bumpers
1. All frames must remain stock unless otherwise written.
2. You may not patch any frame rust.
3. Any year car may tilt the frame with a total of 14 inches of welding between the rear of the A arm and the transmission crossmember. You may tilt by pie cutting, or cutting of the tabs at firewall. If you choose not to tilt or if you choose to coldbend; then you may instead weld 14 inches of frame seem between the rear of A arm and transmission crossmember.
4. Frames may not be shaped at all, if any frame shaping is found you will be loaded, this includes the rear-end humps, this also includes Y frame cars sucking Y’s together.
5. Bumper shocks may be interchanged on cars and welded on but they may not extend further back than 14” from the front of the frame. 1 set of shocks or brackets per car. They may be contoured to the frame but may not go through the frame in any way. If you choose not to run a bumper shock you may use a 3”x ¼” flat plate, this may only extend 14” as well.
6. Frames may be shortened but only to the front body mount hole. Body mount holes may not be altered in any way, this includes moving them or making them larger. The front hole must remain completely intact to where it began. Unibody cars may not shorten frames as they have no body mounts, the ends may be cut to square though to make bumper mounting easier. Rear frame rails may not be shortened in any way.
7. 03+ Fords may plate the top side of the aluminum crossmember with ¼” plate using only factory bolts. Absolutely no welding this to the frame in any way, it may only be attached to the frame using the 4 bolts that hold on the A arms.

Please refer to the suspension section of the rules to find out how you can do your steering and suspension.
8. Bumpers may be welded to bumper shocks/ brackets, or the bumper may be welded directly to the front of the frame. Holes may not be cut into bumpers to allow a bumper to be moved back.
