so i was wondering if you could theoretically take an old bird and put it on a new on (fourth gen) frame? I dont want to, but was curious. What about camaros? like second onto fifth? probably not seeing as its now a zeta frame not f body. Right? i like to think up these ideas during the late nites

Anything can be done i guess, it just depends on your skills. A lot of cutting, chopping and welding.

Completely different. The subframe is MUCH larger in the 2nd gens. The 4th gens are simply a small cradle.

A guy with a 76 did it, basically took the entire front half of a 98+ 4th gen and attached it to his 76, looked factory by the time he was done with it... but a really funny factory...
