    Find a $100 80's Caprice or Impala and use the frame, floors, drivetrain etc. The wheelbase should be pretty close, you might have to shorten it a bit. Then you have your rear end already mounted, no need to mess with clips etc... **** you'll even get a tilt column.

    The37Kid, did you have that on Ebay a while back? Someone had one saying they'd thought about making it into a '54 Chevy phantom...got me thinking about it cuz I gots lots of 54 parts. There is a whole bunch of them I put in one place this one time and it started and ran so I kept it...

    hellerlj, sweet. My neighbor is getting ready to cut up his 49 Lincoln parts car, maybe you could get the rear window from that for a try!

    Go down to the S10 store, pick up a cheap one and cut the body off, set your body on it and drive it around the block!

    If you get a Coprice/Impcopla, you get free spot lights, too!

    looks like theres a lot of good metal there to work with, me i would have a hard time finishing something someone else started in the case you wanted to do it different.
