I want @swampratt to acquire a Nash Metropolitan and do wild stuff to it.
I have some non running projects the 1980 3/4 ton I want to do soon.
And a 1928 Tudor with 8" rear and mustang II front suspension.
Buddy came over yesterday in his LC500
Asked me when we were going to thundervalley to race.
He mentioned it over a year ago and I suppose he is ready now.
I need to build my stroker the rest of the way and stick it in the 1947 dodge truck and put the hurt on him.

How do you get the chassis from a unibody car?
No idea lol
badass
On my fox body mustang I built braces to secure the strut towers (welded strong metal in)
I then got to cutting the front unibody section from the car.
I had a 1969 camaro that I installed full frame under 2x3 rectangular and full cage.
I grafted that front 1982 Ford mustang (Fox Body) suspension into the car.
I removed the cross braces and made plates and attached the top strut plates to the roll cage that came out of the firewall.
I did that back in the mid 90's and people thought I was nuts but I wanted a decent front suspension that was very light.
I hung a 31 spline 9" in the back on a 4 link i built and coil overs.
Look at the fast cars today a Fox Body Mustang with GM LS.
Nothing wrong with that suspension.
I just did it the hard way.
My 1947 Dodge truck has a Pinto front suspension Another unibody car.
I got the pinto from a wrecker auction and cut the front suspension out and grafted 2x3 rectangular tubing to that stock pinto metal and stuck it into the frame of the '47 Dodge and got to welding.
Some people just cut the parts off the unibody they do not need and place the empty shell of a vehicle over it.
Sometimes the dash and all gauges are retained.
You must do some outside of the box thinking and almost anything is possible with a welder and big enough hammer.
When I do the 28 Tudor I will build a solid metal roof for it and it will come off of mini van of some kind.
