Are the wheelbase and track width even close to the same on the 'Vic???? I've never been a big fan of the "old body, new frame" builds, it looks and sounds easy at the onset of the project, but I've seen more of these projects turn out looking like poo-poo then I've seen them turn out good! Body mounts, radiator supports, bumper brackets and a whole host of other things will need to be redone. I usually prefer to start with the original frame, then update the brakes, suspension, engine, and drivetrain as required.... It's your project and you should do what you want, just wanted to offer a word of caution that it's never as easy as it looks......Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
