Has anyone thought about using the subframe of the donor car as a "jig" for welding in frame rails? Then cut away the original pan to suit your build.
Not sure. Which one is the 'donor'? Needs pix.

I bought a Lexus LX400h rear subframe to cut down to fit my 1958 Beetle, but fabbing new mounts for the drive train seems more doable.

If it's a streetable custom, tie everything together with an 8-point roll cage.
