    It has the floor and rockers for sure. Part of the trunk pan will also work. It also has a good windshield channel just incase mine it rusted away. The quarters aren't bad, just a couple holes. they are repairable. The frame looks great.

    Having a good frame is an absolute plus. That would have been my first concern, especially that the car was laying in the dirt all those years.

    The research I've done, I've learned the frames are the same between the impalasame and the wagon. But the frames differ between 9 passenger wagons and 6 passenger. There is ano extra cross member on the back for the third seat. Mine doesn't have the third seat.

    Yeah, I was wondering if there was a difference in frames between the sedan/ HT and wagon.
    That's interesting that there was an additional cross brace incorporated in the 9 passenger (wagon) frame compared to the 6-passenger. My other concern was the length and dimensions between sedan/ HT and wagon.

    Welcome aboard grandbolin.
    That is quite a project you have on your hands there. Good luck with the cutting and the welding.
