I bought my frame from a guy who had it professionaly built. 1980 Camaro front clip, 1947 mid frame and rear clip is a narrowed 1985 chevy pickup parallel leaf spring frame, It had a narrowed Ford 9" rear with new strange axles. Got the whole thing for 500 bucks. It is something i would never have tackled myself. At the same time I was doing mine a good buddy was building a 49 sedan delivery. He used a MII with air bags it was easy and it rides fine. He actually went with a junk yard assembly. After watching him I think I would do the same if I ever do it again. Just make sure whatever you use will be narrow enough to accomadate the wheels and tires you plan on using.LFE
