Thank you for the quick responses.... I am using the search feature trying to find someone here who sells the framerails and the floor pan. I have an uncle who does body work, so this will be a do it myself job. The question I have is when i replace the framerails and floor pan...can I install a roll cage that would weld to the chassis and if so are there prefag roll cages available to purchase? Sorry if sounds like a another stupid question....but it all new to me. Thanx again guys.

I do not think the car I bought should be used as a parts car for the condition it is in. Living in the northeast here it is expected for the car to have lots of rust. I believe the car for the project I am taking up is just right. I am not trying to have the car up and running in 3 months and I do plan on taking my time. I will be stripping the car bare and repairing all the rust for 2 reasons...1 I do not have the money to spend a 240 or 280 without any rust...2 I will have to reinforce the chassis anyway so why not repair a car with rusted out frame rails. If I am very wrong please will someone let me know =) And can someone resond that has done the LS1 swap and had to deal with rust.......Thanz alot guys for the quick responce before and those to come.

Hello everyone, I am a new owner of a 76' 280z with 61k. I have been reading the forums for about the past 2 months and I have decided that the best way is to ask questions. I have used the search feature of the site but I think the best answers I will get is if I asked them even though I know that have been asked many of times so please be kind...I just bought the car for $800 here in Ny. The body is in great cond because it was garage kept for the past 9 years but the frame rails are gone gone gone. So where i want to start with this car is replacing the frame rails and installing a roll cage. I am going to install Ls1 so i wanted to know if anyone can help me out with info on how about to go with this reinforcement of the chassis. Any sites sell roll cages prefabbed?.... and what is the best way to get this welded the to new tube frame rails..... and can someone explain how all this gets tied in with the subframe..I am very sorry for a question that may sound stupid to most of you but we all have to learn at some point. Thank you everyone in advance who will help me in anyway....... project Ls1 starts today.
