This is definitely a good option, however the many unknowns when I start tearing into this leave me to believe that I will be safe or if I have a donor car on hand. If I get a good donor and have it at my house I can make those decisions as I go. I've looked at a lot of aftermarket frame rails and floor pans but I know that battery tray is not available.

If I do the work myself a frame rack is not going to be an option. I have a little bit of experience grafting a car together with a friend which we did in my shop. I'm no pro at this that's for sure. Both of the projects above look similar to what I'll be taking on. My immediate concerns are fitment and differences between the 2+2 and 240Z front ends. Differences in the chassis bolt holes and everything else if I buy this car as a donor I need everything to be the same otherwise I'll wait for a 240Z donor. So far the only thing I've been able to find is that the 2+2 has thicker sheet metal in the frame rails and firewall, which is good as long as it looks and fits correct. I want to be sure I'm starting with the right donor car so my life is easier in the long run.

I'll be your new guy for the day. I recently acquired a 6/71 240z. It has cancer but not terminal. Front frame rails, radiator support and under the battery, the floors aren't that bad minor patching in front of the pedals. I found an affordable 74 2+2 that is rust free. I'm wondering if I can use from the firewall forward and just replace the entire front of my car. What fits and what doesn't? I'm hoping to keep all of my Mechanicals and exterior panels until I'm ready to paint, which may be a few years. My car is pretty unmolested with original paint. The Internet Is Awesome, thanks for all the help.
