    My girlfriend's father is about to give me his 1982 Buick Park Avenue that has been sitting in storage for about 8 years. I'm personally not too fond of the '82 body and would like to drop on a body from a different car. I've never done a body swap, so what should I measure and pay attention to when choosing a body? I'll have more questions soon.

    Thanks, :3gears:

    Must be a B-body(full size) full size to work such as Olds 98, Pontiac Catalina/Bonneville, Chevy Impala/Caprice. Best bet and easiest is to sell it and buy what you want or drive it until it quits and junk it.
