A Body Frame Swap

[Machiatto]

Hi All -

Having been truly motivated by some of the very cool work being done by the PT members I have decided to begin working toward IRS in my '66 Skylark. My immediate thoughts are trying to mount a 2010 or later Camaro rear axle/suspension assembly. Open to all ideas, but that's gonna be my first approach. I want to keep driving my car in the meantime, and don't want to ruin my existing frame if things go badly so I have procured a donor frame and will be doing all my modification to it. But before I start, I want to do one last check - everything that I have ever read, and from what I can tell - 1964-1967 A Body frames are all the same. So I am reaching out to the people that have done this. The donor frame I will be using is from a 1964 Olds F85 four door. My car is a 1966 Buick Skylark Coupe. ALL of my front suspension will come from my Skylark cuz that's all new and I love the way it works. Is there ANYTHING I should know - subtle differences maybe - between the different years/makes/configurations of A Body cars? Anything that suggests that I should not be using this frame? Please stop me now =]



Thanks for any feedback -
