Thanks guys. I'll get a quote from a few frame shops and see if buying a donor frame is more cost effective. Incidentally, the mounts that were rusted through are the ones directly behind the front wheels on each side. The car is still drivable, but I just put a rebuilt 455 in it and I'm thinking that with the amount of torque that monster puts out, I'm sure it's not good for a rusty old frame. Question: a convertible frame is more substantial than a coupe. Would I need to search for another convertible, or have the coupe frame reinforced?
