    Building a Rod on the cheap!

     



    I am a Young guy trying to build a rod for next to nothing.
    I have a new Model A chassis with engine mounts and front drop Axle with leaf spring suspension but no rear end or rear suspension, it does have rear coil over and shock mounts though. my question is this:

    Is there anyway to use ANY parts such as the suspension, electrical, or rear-end(shortend,) ect. from a 1979 mercury marquis without too many modifications or running into too many problems? I inherited a Marquis that's pretty clean With low original miles but I can't afford to drive it (it's got a 460 and weighs about a million pounds.) so rather than let it keep rotting like it has been, I thought I'd try to use what I could.

    Any help would be Appreciated.
