I have a 1970 four door that is in good shape and a two door frame that is screwed up. The guy before me had a 455 with nitrous and a jeep that stopped. I know the frame is longer but were. Is it easly cut...?

No, the wheel base on 4 dr is 116" and 2 dr is 112"

Seems easy to me, if you have a welder and the skills. Measure and measure and cut where the extra length is not needed. Somewhere in the middle, aft of the trans x-member, I would guess. Guide yourself by the body mount bolts.

Sorry, I didn't read far enough. Is it really worth all the effort instead of just getting a 112 chassis? They should be plentiful - Chevelle, Skylark, Tempest, Cutlass all used the same frames.

I was hoping that is was the last 4 inches of the the frame. hahaha

Back to plan "A" frame clean up! Any good thouths on how to get the rust, muck, and crap out of the inside of the frame?

So how to handle the inside of the frame? Does anyone do anything???? And How!!

My plan on my 72 was to get a long rod I could hook up to a drill with a brillo pad on the end or some other kind of abrasive material I could affix to the end of it , and then pour some POR 15 in there . There seems to be a few different open spots on the frame to get to most spots inside there , but then again my frame is open on one side under the chassis making it a lot easier . I didn't put to much thought into this yet because I'm still trying to get other things done on the car first .

I thought about having ithe frame diped. It will remove the rust? But the local guy thaat can do this does not have a dip tank to seal the inside.

I thought about the POR15 but trying to get the full inside of the frame up front mostly.

I think I going to box the the frame? Thoughts?

I know the verts have to be boxed because the missing roof will make it sag in the middle . If your gonna have a lot of hp , it may not be such a bad idea . I think it will add strength to the frame . Maybe someone will chime in on this matter that knows a little more about it .
