37 Pontiac frame swap?

After getting my 37 up and running, I can't talk myself into tearing it up to rod it! I would like to find another frame to build so I can preserve the original running gear and suspension. My car is a 37 Pontiac 6 2dr sedan. Any ideas on which year frames will swap or any later model frames that will work?

Thanks, Colt

Modern frame plus old body equals junk.
It would make more sense to build a hot rod frame from rectangular tubing using your old frame as a guide, however that would require taking your running car apart, way apart, and for what??
Check this out, you have gotten your car up and running as an original piece and you are so happy with it, why not just be happy??? Run the thing as it is, a nice old "restored" or "rehabilitated" car. The point is that it is an old car, it is alive, and you can use it for its purpose....tranportation. The great plus is that it is transportation that you alone have! Know anybody else buzzing around in a 37 Pontiac?? I didn't think so.
Look, be happy with what makes you happy. You thought you wanted a hot rod, you worked on your car, got it running and driving and don't want to jack with it. Good for you! At least you're not cutting a nice old car to pieces to satisfy a great need to be one of the masses.
Many cars you see at national and local street rod events have stock drivetrains pulling around stock cars with fancy "hot rod" paintjobs and custom wheels. What's wrong with that?

I have to agree with pasadenahotrod here. If you can't "talk" yourself into it you most likely will be sorry in the long run if you do it. Enjoy the car you worked so hard to get running.

I agree with this, just replace any worn out parts and enjoy the car.
