I see Jay Leno has a Nova on a corvette chassis. Has anyone else done anything like this? If so what kind of magician do you have to be to make this happen?

My car has a C4 front end(see pics in my sig), Wayne Due made a clip that utilized early C4 suspension and there have been a few guys that have run the C4 IRS on early II's. "stangs4sale" has one on ebay right now.
The front and rear can be done without narrowing IF you are very selective with wheel offsets and tire sizes.
Ive run my own shop for many years and i also work on the side at "westcoast customs" in corona ca. And if you watch the show "streetcustoms" you saw them put a 1967 chevelle body over the top of a 2007 corvette complete drive line and the hardest part was they had to extend the torque tube and drive shaft to match to wheel base. They also put a older gto on a newer gto drive line for rockstar energy drink. Ive driven both cars and they run great but if you decide to try it just know the hardest part will be finding someone to extend the drive shaft (no one wants to touch them). I also saw a builder on this site building a 67 nova on a c6 corvette drive line. I can't remember his name but if you go to projects and click the one that says "yup i think i pick the right one" or something like that you will see a great build up and some very detailed pix. I myself started my build and i plan to do something very simular. If you have any questions feel free to ask or looking for someone to do your build let me know. Good luck.
