where to cut the frame on 1968 el camino for frame swap on 1968 cutlass convertible
The rear/back half of my frame is rusted out/toast, my mechanic just happens to have a 68 el camino parts car sitting out back we can use... I've read plenty of posts that say its 4 inches longer between the wheels thats fine with me as i dont want to swap the whole frame, only 1/2 or more... any help would be much appreciated... just fyi. the back half of my cutlass is really toast no possible fix... swiss cheese... thanks again!!!

additionally, i don't care about perfection, this was my parts car (never touched it though) for another 68 i had... just trying to get it on the road to have fun, it runs and is complete unmolested as they say... so getting it back on the road is my only goal, brakes gas tank, th350 rebuilt, rusted frame is the biggest issue... dont care about looks or "springing the frame" additionally id like to add support to help compensate for the Frankenstein frame, any info on the best way to achieve this on a convertible frame???
