I am a newbie, and if you would like to read some about me, and my resume, I introduced myself in the introduction forum.
But here, I would like to pose a question. I have been into rods for many years. Into home built rods in the garage by normal workin class dawgs like me. Been out of the loop for years due to an accedent, so I need some direction in this new age.
I have a P15 Plymouth, 2 door sedan. My 13 year old daughter had laid claim on my Plymouth since she was 2 years old. She loves the car. I am wanting to update it to make it more reliable for a young teen to drive. I am considering pulling the body off and setting it on a current chassis and running gear. I am thinking a Dodge Dakota chassis with maybe a 318/auto. Does anyone know of anyone that has done something like that? I think the wheelbases are similar, and would like to find some resources for a Dakoda chassis swap is there is any.
Thanks
