WTB: 96-00 Civic HB Shell
Looking for a clean body/clean frame. Can be missing a lot of parts, as long as the frame/body is straight and I don't have to do replace parts that require welding (i.e. radiator support)
Local to So Cal, but willing to consider other locations if you are willing to ship.

doesn't anyone wanna donor their shell, knowing it'll be going to a good cause - full out road race car.
if you have no underbody crap that needs to be stripped anyways, that's a bonus

it's kind of OT, but I was wondering about something since you mentioned it in the first post. I was swapping coilovers w/ someone on here, and they were jacking up my car. The jack slipped off the jack point and landed on the bottom of the radiator suppert. Since the rad. support is like a sideways "H" it pushed up the top support also, pushing my hood up. I got an estimate for it for 800+. I'm wondering though, would it be possible that there is more damage than simply the radiator support? Since the supports are bent, is it possible that part of the chassis also got ruined? </TD></TR></TABLE>
possibly. the radiator support is spot welded into the chassis. Looks like

[ ] chassis
The rest is the radiator support. I got my OEM radiator support from HautoParts at 160 + 30 shipping. Make sure they package it in a box, they send mine by just slapping on a sticker, which bent it while shipping. Welding it in and everything took me 6 hours. JDM Jon, from Dohc Garage helped me.
Fixed all but 1 gap...i should post before and after pix.
