Default after market frame

Hi all, I have a 70 convertible. Long story/short I'm looking for a company making aftermarket frames that accept my year suspension and parts. I can't justify newer suspension for just a driver. I live in California until I can escape so the closer the better but recognize this is uncommon request so I'm not picky. Thanks for you help. Matt

Are you wanting an aftermarket fabbed/"tubular" style frame, or a new stock-style frame? We have options available, if you want to give us a call or PM me, I'd be happy to discuss them with you!

I know of two manufacturers:

Collier Technologies

and

SRIII Motorsports

I think SRIII made the tubular frame for that awesome blue Frankensport custom.
