Those ideas are great. I have seen them before and was going to go that route until I really got looking under my car. I think most people would strip and crush a car that's in the shape mine is underneath. the rear control arm mounts are gone, the left frame from the firewall to the lower control arm is almost not even there. the floors are about 50% gone. the reason i'm not crushing it is because the body is in great shape and it's hard to find a Monza around here any more. the rockers are rust free, the doors are ok with little rust on the bottom. no rust around the windows. it sat for 20 years in the weeds and just rotted real bad under the car. frame rail connectors won't help me. i'd have to rebuild alot of the front frame, floor pans and rear control arm mounts. til i do all that work I feel i'd be better off swapping in the s10 frame. I can get the frame, control arms, spindles, rotors, calipers, steering linkage, and steering box for under $200 from a guy i work with. I could probably get him to throw in the rear axle shafts too. Thanks for the input guys but do you see where i'm coming from?
