Thanks! You are the third guy I've heard from on this forum that has a '69 Liberty Blue/Parchment GTO convertible! Seems pretty incredible for a color that wasn't one of the big sellers.
I got the frame all torn down and ready to start cleaning up:
I did find that the frame needs a bit of attention in a couple of places. The body mount location under the rusted bracket will need to get a small patch. Amazing what a leaking heater core can cause.
Also have some rust under the transmission crossmember mounts. It's gone a little thin and I will need to correct that too. Both sides look about the same.
I'll do the patching before I blast the frame.
