Would it be easy to attach a third gen fbody frame/body to a rolling C6 chassis? Like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevy...Q5fAccessories

absolutely nothing about the ordeal would be easy. Im sure it could be done, but would involve a LOT of fabrication and money.

the c6 is also wider, and not sure about the wheel base, but with the torque tube design, you are pretty much unable to modify the wheelbase without massive cost.

Possible? Yes. The Civette proved that.

Easy? No.

Yeah, I knew it was possible seeing that, but thought it would be easier being a more suitable body then a civic.

there was a show on speed or spike or something where Jay Leno used a vett roller as the fondation for some 50's or 60's car. I don't remember the details. It would be extensive body modification.

There was a firebird concept car built on the c6 I saw at a car show once (2000 ish). It was almost all vett with just the front and rear looking like the ram air 4th gen. To bad they never made it, and since pontiac is gone the firebird will never be back.

ahh found the jay leno one.

Would the frame need modification? Or is it just body, so the suspension would bolt up?

I would think it would require removing the entire 3rd gen body from the car (panels, etc) cutting the whole suspension, drivetrain, etc out, and attaching the body to the rolling chassis and using the Vettes suspension and drivetrain. But, since it's a unibody car, I don't really know what you'd mount it too. Probably have to fabricate something that could mount to the Vette chassis and then mount the body panels from the 3rd gen to that.

Exactly what I thought I was gonna hear. Basically create a new frame around the rolling chassis for the 3rd gen body... Thought it would be a little easier than that. It would probably cost quite a bit if a body shop would even do that kind of fabrication, but would still be a lot less than 50k for a 08 C6 and would be very unique.

Yea, I think it'd be a pretty sweet ride. I've seen things like that done with older cars and trucks, but they were frame/body cars. My dad started it with a 32 Chevy coupe (I think) and a C5 chassis, but never bought the Vette chassis. The coupe is still sitting under a tarp in the old shop lol.

it depends on how everything lines up. I don't know the weel base info on the vett, but if its anywhere near the firebird you could do it by cutting off all the "frame" rails of the firebird and welding/bolting the vett subframe/or fab up a new subframe. The problem would be I think you would need to streach the bird in width and srink it in length or streach the vett chasis in length. If you could find a wide body kit for the firebird it might get the wheels in side the fenders.

It might be easier to use the front vett rails as a subframe on the front, and use something like a thunderbird independent rear suspension on the rear and use a standard transmission.
