Bringing one back from the dead...
I'm with ECU pirate - if I decide to swap my straight '77 body onto a '79 frame, what problems will I run into? Looks like the other way around would give problems with frame being in the way of the footwell, but other than a lack of support under the seats, any other issues I might run into?
