Re: 1964 440H; two make one

It is still fairly common to join two wrecked cars like this. Many small body shops scout insurance auctions and keep their staff busy in the "off season" by doing such work and selling the cars, some salvage yards as well. They are usually sold with a salvage title so the owner is aware. As long as the cuts are straight and the welds good, there should be no problems at all. I've seen several cars done this way, but not one that old before. Usually it's high dollar cars that will sell easily.
