Convertible frames

Yes, same frame. BTW, how is your trunk filler panel? Thats the panel from your convertible top to the trunk-lid opening. It also includes the trunk hinges. These are prone to rust out, I have a nice one.

Convertible Frame
Hi, Thanks for your reply. The panel you mention is in really good shape on my car. Also, the trunk floor pan has two small rust thru areas, about the size of a dollar bill. I had the car up on a hoist the other day and the floor pans look to be very solid. The frame had been fish-plated at sometime in the past. Upon closer inspection and, because I'm going to frame-off her, my welder/fitter buddy feels that we can restore the frame to like new condition for far less than it would take to buy a frame from the "dry "states and have it shipped to the east coast of Canada. Transpot costs alone would be scary; probably equal to the amount paid for the frame. Once I get into the project, I'll post some photos.
