Basically, remove the back half of the floor (including frame and suspension) and replacing it with a stronger frame/ roll cage and larger wheel wells.  This is done to add a race suspension (4-link etc) and slicks.


The goal never changes - Stop the 60' timer with your back tires

Like this. Remove the back half of your car (frame/floors/trunk/fuel tank). Weld in new stuff with more strength and better geometry.

My buddy that does late model rebuilders does it also. Cuts the wrecked car off at the seam under the floor and replaces it with a rear half of a car that has not been dammaged.
