Does anyone have experience swapping springs, spindles & brakes from other GM models? Could all those items come from one model?

She will also need a new top and several chrome and light peices. Could I get some feedback on whether I should have a custom top sewn or purchase one off the shelf?

We want to start working on these items right away to get her back into shape ASAP!

Thanks for the help.

You need to ask these questions in the big car forums. The chassis has been covered in the 62-6 forum and is stuck there uneer the widest tire under a 65 B body title.
