Re: frame help

You'd have to cut off a donor car. Good luck on the project.

Re: frame help

Thanks guys...I think I'm gonna look for Camaro needing motor and transmission...I've heard that cutting and trying to fit back together is a hard thing to do and get it right...my wife's wanting to find a 67-69 Camaro needing motor and trans...have a feeling this would be hard to do too

not bad if the spot welds are drilled out properly little tougher if cut up, but if you have em cut extra not horrible. 67-69 camaros and firebirds not as hard to find as people seem to think, i pass on lots for less then 5k

Craigslist is your best bet, try using searchtempest.com and searching within driving distance i always use "camaro project" or "firebird project"
