I have a little frame rot that needs attention on my 73. I seem to recall seeing frame sections available some time back but for the life of me can't recall the vendor. Anyone have any sources/recommendations? Thanks

I can send you pictures of what you don't want to find, what at first looked repairable was broken in front of the driver side kick up with a few swings of a hammer :shocked:
