I think that OPGI now carries replacement frames.

You may expand your search to all such A-bodies [not convertibles] and then cut off the boxing sections from the old frame and weld them onto the other frame. I did this a while back in resurrecting a rusted '69 Cutlass. It was not too bad. Small sections about 4x6" at front had to be fabricated from similar steel plate. This was not 1 of 1 H/O convertibles, so minor fab work can be expected and tolerated.

the frame for the body. I have a great frame and mech for the convertible top. The frame was all rusted out. it was a new york car. it is currently on a coupe frame. Any ideas from anyone would be very appreciated. I checked OPGI and they do not offer frames as of the website I checked. Thanks a bunch!!

My bad! I thought that you were referring to the convertible top frame.

There is a guy that advertises powder coated a body frames on the Dallas Craigslist once in a while. Can't tell where you are from on the mobile app, but may be worth checking out

Where are you located? For that price does it include front and rear suspension?

I am located in Washington State. Will the frame be complete with suspension and ready to roll?
