Hi Don,
I'd be curious about why this frame is available….what happened to the car?
Ideally I'd want a frame from someone who's building a modified car with one of the new high-tech frames that are now available and so they're selling the original frame
I'd be more leery of a frame from a car that was hit, got a new frame, and the old one has been repaired so is now available.
I'd also look carefully for signs that it was once a rusty frame that's been repaired.
So?
Regards,
Alan
