79 Malibu frame swap for 52

[davidh]

I"m itching to do the rat-rod on my 52 that I've yet to pickup. Its been sitting for 15+yrs. I also have a 79 4dr malibu I got running for $80. I saw in street rod where someone used a 84 montecarlo frame on 48=54 and I know the Malibu is basically the same. I can't get to the cars right now to take dimensions(I'm working out of town) but I thought I 'd ask on this site if anyone knows or has done this swap and how they like or disliked it. Any cutting or adding they did..
I know there's a lot of talk with the S10 frames but seeing I have this one already and it's coiled spring all the way around I thought about giving it a shot.
