Frame measurements
I bought a 66 Lemans parts car and stripped it down to measure the frame the frt horns were exactly the same as mine I also measured the roll in the horns and it was the same on both frame .I took the frt clip off mine to measure the frame and borrowed a digital caliper from a friend the dr side was the same the pass side had a set back of 1.75 inches from the upper ball joint to my indictor marks the lower ball joints were the same so being that the eng would have to come out to make the pull and the frame heated and stretched the cost factor was about the same to replace the frame and there were no guarantees the pull would hold so here I am reconditioning another frame what a setback but almost done hope to have the epoxy primer on it today paint Wed then start the swap should take about a week .
