C3 chassis swap
I purchased a damaged 73 with the intent to pro street the car. I have a chance to buy a 66 pro street rolling chassis (back half using 66 frame) already complete with 4 link and 9" rear. I saw on ebay where a person had a stock frame for sale and claimed it could be used for 63-82 corvette.
My question here is.....will the 73 body work on the 66 pro street chassis? I realize there will be some issues with trimming the floor panel in the back half of the body. Just need to know if the frame will work.
