Default Need an Expert on Early C3 Frames

I am looking at buying a 70 frame, and would like to find someone to examine pictures of the frame. I am not an expert and would feel better having someone else look at it, too. If you can help, please email and I will send the pictures. My email is anichols@3tecenergy.com.

Here is a picture of the overall frams but I have closeups to email.



Thanks,
Allen

Man, you bought the frame I was looking at!! In fact, one of the forum members was going to look at it for me.

Hope it works out for you. I was going to put it on my rusted out '69.

Good luck.

:thumbs:

And, damn!!

Thanks to Gary and Mike for their help.

I'll let everyone know how it goes. My wife and I going to restore a 1970 L-46 Convertible, and our current frame needs to be replaced. So here we go now that we have a replacement frame.
