With a 120" WB and an ALTERED engine set back it's hard to believe that a
Camaro crossmember would be in the way of anything. But if it was just notch
it out.
If I had to do the Hondaliner over again I think I would seriously consider
the Mustang II front end I had on the Chevette. Efficient, compact, easy to
get parts for and it worked great.
