Undercarriage Replacement?

Hi, I have a 66 convertible (6 cyl) that has enough rot in the underbody that I am thinking of buying a donor underbody to swap my good parts onto. I've been looking on-line for a donor (ebay, craigslist, hemmings) and haven't found much. Any recommendations from you guys as to where to find what I'm after? thanks.

Keep plugging away just like you are doing now.

That's the way we do it. Look for a rusted hulk or a crash victim on e-bay also...

But a good mustang body is alway's hard to find...

The underbody is the same metal as the Over body

There ain't no frame...

Back when, I obtained the remains of another Mustang after some Hit and Run sideswiped me a good one.

I found one in nearby town that was in weeds of a Redevelopment project. The owner was involved in some front end collision, and had sold off all the interior, engine, trunk lid and other items for next to nothing. He was trying to pay rent. I was prepared to haul it out that afternoon.

Combined with parts from my other car, then from two wrecks, got one good Mustang. Took me 1 1/2 years to complete, but works good. Hauled the donor and damaged parts off to steel dealer, and got my $4 there.

Before obtaining a car, ask for all known license paperwork, just in case you have to title it by that registration instead of yours.

Yep! I agree with Will, get paperwork. If you cannot, just cut out BOTH Vin #'s from the front fender supports and keep them to put on the donor car.

I believe you can swap all your stuff over to a 64-65 Falcon/Comet replacement underbody.
Those are cheap.
