Has anyone tried to put a tri-five body on a mid 90's caprice/impala chassis? The wheel base is about the same, 115.2 v/s 115.7 and the track is a little wider on the mid 90 stuff. I don't think it would be that dificult to do. I am sure I will have to fabricate body mounts etc. Any thoughts or suggestions?

This has been discussed somewhere before. Hang on and maybe someone will have a link to that discussion or can direct you to the article. Terry.

I found the donor car and now ready to get underway with this project. I will take pictures and document this as I go.
