just wondering about unit bodies - 03/13/10 05:52 PM
I know this forum is for older cars but I can't help but notice the number of mid 60s to early 70s unit bodies that no longer have good frames. I have a couple myself. I realize that the tub can be rebuilt these days, but I for one can not afford this and do not have the skill for rebuilding a unit body myself. I was just wondering what you guys thought of maybe a dakota frame channeled under a 68 coronete.
Is the wheel base and width close and how hard would it be to put under the car?
I really hate to see this car rot away in my back yard and a replacement shell is quickly getting too expensive. also thinking about a straight axle gasser style.(?) The car is not all that rare or popular, so hacking it up and driving it is better than wasting away.
Any comments are welcome.
