Awesome frame, I plan on doing the same for my 63 SWC, what was the lead time on the frame?

What options did you choose?

Who did you deal with at the RS?

Thanks

jlallblack, That chassis truly is a piece of art. Where'd you get the widened rear inner fenders & floor? Can you still fold the convertible top under the hard cover?

I got the rear floor kit from hedges speed shop years ago. Unfortunately the top does not fit with the size tires I went with in the back I wanted to go as wide as I could go. You could fit a convertible top if you went with a 295 rear tire maybe even a 305 would fit.
