Will a ‘79 289zx frame fit a ‘78 280z? Longer huh.

Maybe just order the front rails from Zedd Findings in Ontario and repair the rest of the sheet metal like I did on my 280.

You need to find a good body shop that will work on older cars.Many only want to do late model collision work. Hopefully one that works on import cars too, if you can find one. Once you find that, get an estimate. You will be money ahead to pull the drive train for them. Also there are factory dimensions for the cars in pdf format that might be helpful
