skeleton frame?
my brother took his 73 to the body shop, they told him the "skeleton frame" was too far gone and the car was a lost cause. any feedback?
never heard of the "skeleton frame". the actual frame of the car is fresh and is now a rolling chasis. i don't think the car is a right off.

I never heard of that term before. It could be that was their terminology for the birdcage. It could resemble the skeleton of a car with the fiberglass removed.

I would bet that they are referring to the birdcage or the steel cage that surrounds the passenger compartment. It is very labor intensive to repair rust damage.
Here is what it looks like.
