Start by finding your dream car.

Base your decision for frame swap on the condition of the body and frame.

Should you choose to do the swap, look for a complete donor vehicle, it will simplify the swap.

Getting major components individually can save money, but every complication adds time and complexity.

Just think of how easy it would be to order parts for an 86 Diplomat (for example) vs. having to remember what year / vehicle for your suspension, the engine, the transmission, etc.

Give it some thought.

P.S. I dig the car. Good luck finding one!
