The 1947 Dodge Build

I also have the hots for a 40's-50's old Mopar for some sort of rod. I admit I have not had time to read all 7 pages BT I will. I have this question. Did you ever do anything about changing the front suspension rear end. I saw on first page where it was mentioned the JMF body front suspension and the 711-4 B body rear or 8.8 Ford??
If I get one it will have to use the old frame and some modern f. suspension and I do have a good 318 4 speed for motivation.
Have you seen what a store bought frame, running gear costs!!! Where do people get that kind of $$$$ for their toys!?????
