Default What should i do with my trans am and firebird?

Well i have two junk cars. One is a 98 that was totalled in the front and the frame is about an inch or so off. and then i have a 94 firebird that is in ok shape just needs some work on the rear quarter panel because some guy just took a saw to it and cut off the rear quarter. In the long run what would be the best way to go about building one car? should i cut the front off the 94 and put it on the 98 and then build my car? or should i just take the quarter off the 98 and put it on the 94? i would like to put a lsx engine in the car and it might be a daily driver.
thanks for your advice.
here are the cars

I have pondered that idea but have had both of them for sale for a few months and no one has offered anything money for anything specific.

i would cut the front frame section off the fireturd and use it on the ls1 car. the blue car is far too gone to waste time even fixing it. the ls1 car is still worth a shot.

thats what I'm thinking of doing with the 98 car. Anyone know a good body shop that I could get pricing from?
