1965 Convertible Chassis
Hey everyone,
The frame of my 65 cutlass F-85 convert is totally wasted and I just want to run by/verify with you guys what I have absorbed regarding my options to get the old girl rolling again. So, if I get a four door frame, reuse the box sections off my frame, reuse the tranny crossmember, then I should be good to go? I know that I need to stick with a 64-65 frame due to the frame horns being 40 inches across verse 35.5 for every other A body chassis of those years. Would any two door or four door chassis work? What other budget minded options do you guys endorse? Thanks for the advice and time in advance,
-RW
If anyone has a 65 Cutlass frame for sale in New England, please speak up!
