Navy, I noticed your Cadillac has the factory IFS as well like the 39 oldsmobiles we have. Have you given any thought to what you will do with the front suspension? I have been pondering which 39 Olds chassis to build for Colt's car. One of his frames has already had a GM stub grafted on and I think we'll use that chassis. I think a person would have to cut the frame and add straight rails to install a MII type cross member and make it look decent. I thought for a bit to keep the original front suspension but I wonder how much of the parts are actually available and will be in the future. Let alone disc brake upgrades etc.

I'll see if anybody wants to buy any of the stuff I'm removing, there's a LaSal forum that may have some interest.
