X2, 70s ford a arms are the way to go imo. Very minor hole misalignment between the frame mounts holes and a arm holes...little touch with a die grinder and the bolts will drop right in.

You have any idea which control arms bolt into these that's where I see the biggest problem is the steering and suspension

But if I remember correctly they use a similar upper as a 58-60 tbird. In that case it wouldn't be hard at all to swap over to a box ford, old iron gm or 70s ford a arms

Building for a wire type class little bit of welding Strength wise yes they are the same. trunks still suck on them same as a 4 doors. Aside from the obvious bumper swap that is needed the next issue to overcome is the front suspension in stock form they are pretty weak.

Not sure what these are worth, but are the 69 two door continentals any good? I know where one is but never ran or built one. So I have no idea. Guy wants $1000

In 69 make sure it is a "suicide" continental and not a Mark.
2 second check is the rear suspension, leafs are a suicide, coils are a Mark.

Just picked up a 1966, but it is missing both drivers side doors. Have located some but they are off of a 1968. Does anyone know if these will fit?
