C1 Frame Question.
I'm looking at a 63 coupe with a bad frame, I was told that a C3 frame could be use as a replacement. Is this doable?

Yes, with mods. Forum member SilverSlashStreak converted a 76 frame for use on his 63

If you're looking at a '63, it's a C2 not a C1.

Yes that's correct, It's a 63. I have C1 in the brain, been looking at a 58 as well,but it's out of my budget.
