Re: how long will a chassis last?
If it doesn't rust, it could last a really long time. Are you mostly parking the car or do you do a lot of highway driving? I don't think I've ever seen a car junked simply because of chassis fatigue, but because of rust.

Lol incredibly vague indeed, let's put it this way my 1991 honda accord SE has about 370k on original engine and the body is pretty decent with some sun damage.

Keep up regular maintenance and it will last longer then you want it. Other things will go before the actual chassis like bushing and suspension parts, but they can all be replaced.

Forever. Depending on how much you want to spend.
Recall the Datsun 240Z. In 1998, Nissan purchased back old 240Z and factory restored these cars. Sold them at the dealership as a limited edition for $25,000. These old cars were again "factory new."
If you seen one, you would believe it was 1972 all over again.
