I recently sent my car off the have the floor pan replaced. I was told the previous repair was completed using bondo and spray foam. I was also told this was used on the car frame as well. This is great news to add to an already terrible week. Now I’m in need of a frame for my 71 convertible Cutlass anyone have any suggestions where I can find one in Texas?

Yes, this will be the second frame I will have to purchase. I don’t think I will ever finish this build because I continue to spend the money I save up on unusable parts that someone fabricates to earn a buck but continue to risk someone else’s safety. The current frame was stamp as a convertible Cutlass but turns out it was a poorly shorten El Camino frame. Poor welds and bondo to cover the flaws. Body to frame bushing mounting areas filled with bondo rather than repair with metal. Money has been wasted in this project on so many terrible replacements parts that I need a break on good parts with great prices.

Yes, it’s been a tough few months working on the project. Several obstacles have threw a wrench in the process. But to answer your questions, I’m currently still active Army but I’m not an engineer. I’m a wheeled vehicle mechanic. I was assigned to an engineer unit in Leonard Wood as well as now. So I can say I’m an honorary engineer, “Essayons!!!!!!”

i have seen the post post by the guy from Quintana, Tx but you are right they are really pricey which means out of my budget! Hopefully I will get a break on a good frame soon so I can continue to progress on the build. Thanks for the information I will continue to lean forward in my search.

Thanks for the info Mike. I will send him a message, hopefully he can help.
