More or less. Just different body type and design intent.
And a lot liwer budget. Think challenge.....

'31 pickups 'ell yeah \m/
For a good-handling solid front axle, look no further than the Jeep Cherokee XJ-R, with 2.5 degrees of static camber by chopping a 5 degree pie slice out of the middle of the axle. It won the autocross a few years back with solid front/rear axles and leaf springs.
Hope to see yours completed one day. And yeah, that looks like an easy $300 - $500 if you get cold feet.
I dont think y'all noticed that the entire driver side corner is missing from the rear cab wall. No door jamb. No curvature. No corners. NOTHING. about 5 inche worth of metal just gone.
If someone was willing to give 400 for this thing, id think they fell and bumped their damned head.
And the xjr is what led me down the straight front axle path. And sprint cars. And old indy cars. And they look cool.
Here's a guy that started with just a pile of pieces and extended his cab like you're talking about. '30 Model A extended cab
Here's another useful guide to frame building.
The guy on kill billet started with a lot more than me.
My thought was similar to his on extending the cab, but instead lengthen the doors and add some material in between the door jamb and where the rear cab wall curves. About 8 inches oberall between the two.
Probably do a more locost style chassis than street rod though.
Right now we are at the planning and learning stage. Have to finish the current projects before this one.

If you are set on fiberglass you need expanding spray foam, Bondo, tin foil
What are the rules when it comes to tube frames? Isn't there something about Zambonis?
