I replaced the stock Mustang II front end with an aftermarket Meyers tubular A-arm unit.

I just looked at a project just like yours. The guys had a 37 Olds 4 door sedan that was in super shape and a 37 chevy coupe body. Their project was to build a 37 Olds coupe from the two cars and this was to take place on an 85 Skylark frame. They had already cut the sedan body at the front door rear pillar and at the factory line on the windshield pillar. The Chevy coupe body was then joined and in place. They have just started the body work. The beltlines, door size etc of the Chevy and Olds were the same so when it's completed, you would never know it is a hybrid car. Keep doing some research on different frame lengths. Also, keep beating the weeds for those old Olds sedans to get the front end parts you are looking for. The Olds frame is pristine and available, but do'n have a clue of the dimensions. It would be an easy Mustang II install.
