After a lot of searching and searching for someone to help me with the welding on the frame I found a restoration/hotrod shop in Raleigh, Cisco Built Rides, that was willing to help me out with the welding and sandblasting. You can see some of their work here,
With help from the engine lift and my old lady, I was able to get the frame into the back of my truck. They must have made the frames to fit in the back of trucks because it fit perfectly flat with about 3 ft hanging over the edge. I think I used every tie down that I had. I could have flipped my truck multiple times and that frame would not have moved. I had to drive about 25 miles to the shop, so I figured it can't hurt to make sure the frame is nice and strapped down.
These guys at Cisco Built Rides work on demolition derby cars for fun at a different location than their shop. They were willing to let me bring my frame to their private shop since I was only able to deliver it on a Saturday. This picture is the last time I will see the frame in this condition.
