or you can use the Camaro platform, remove the body and put the El Camino body on it. I think the wheelbase is just about the same...

I would say so, if you can find a nice frame to start working on you can weld in reinforcements, do a frame notch and easily do body mount repairs if needed and get all your suspension and brake upgrades done prior to putting the body on.
Well I was thinking custom subframe connectors there is a difference in wheelbase, have the original drive shaft adapted and strengthened. And then I would probably need to replace the break lines and such if there's not enough slack. As for the exhaust I was going to run zoomies or a derby style exhaust just shortened to taste.
Yeah your right I'll add an intro when I get another chance.
I am assuming you are kidding since it shows the 1981 El Camino at 117.1 wheelbase to the 2000 Camaro at 101.1, probably only a slight modification to make it work.😉
I did say custom subframe connectors in my defense can't 565bbcchevy tho lol
Sigh. Just because you have spare parts doesn't mean you have to use them. It's been mentioned a couple times already but I'll reapeat it again. Gbodys already have a lot of aftermarket support and proven upgrades. No need to reinvent the wheel here. You'll likely be disappointed with the results.
The 2000 Camaro does not have a sub frame, they are a unibody with a K member
Exactly. The struts and upper control arms would attach to air on a G-body. It would make for a pretty low front end, however.
Blazer spindles are $75/pr at almost every junkyard. Just the raw metal alone to adapt 4th gen suspension to a G-body frame would be Hundreds of $ without 100's of hours of fabrication required to make it work.
If you don't have money to buy parts, don't tear cars apart and try to build cobbled frankensteins, because that costs way more in the long run.

he could sell or part out the camaro to use that money in the El Camino
