Project frankenwagon

[wagondragger720]

this is my new but very old project. This thing got pushed to the side while I was doing my 720, some of you may have seen it on SSM during its last build that never got finished because I changed the direction of it. I have been searching for a Toyota frame to convert my Honda Accord Wagon into a RWD, body dropped, Chevy powered thing I dubbed the "frankenwagon" and I finally found it thanks to good ole craigslist. 100 bucks for the frame, suspension and rear end, took a year and I cant believe I found it for so cheap...exactly what I was looking for.

Here is pics of the frame, it will be up on the table as soon as I get it home. Then I will be chopping the body off my wagon shortly, hope to be back into this thread with pics soon.

What front end is that?

[wagondragger720]

its stock, it has a 97 bumper with a 94 lip, shaved turn lights on the fenders and some billet. The hood was cut straight to fit a one off grill I made but that wont be used and a new hood will be put on.

Ah ok. You going 350? That will be a challenge due to lack of space, right? Maybe the firewall needs to be moved back a bit?

[wagondragger720]

not sure yet, moving the FW back would be no problem if need be though.
