Anyone have a picture or a bare frame they can take one I need a close up of the frame right behind the pass tire there is a slot in the frame I think that is where my issue is it does not look right .
It does not have the same issue on the dr side so pissed right now I can't see straight.

I have a bare frame, but it is for a convert., so I think it will be different. (let me know if you want pics of that)

Have you measured using the 'X' method?

pick a spot on the rear pass side of the frame, and measure to a spot on the front driver's side. Then measure from the same points on the other sides, and see if there is a difference.

If there is a difference, then your frame is not 'square'.

I took it to a frame shop the guy has been doing frame work for 40 years the car measures within a 1/4 inch but the top of the rt tire is set back I can see a roll in the frame at the slot right behind the frt rt wheel does not look the same as my parts car frame.you frame is just boxed and has the xtra cross member but the cradle should be the same.

Default Never thought I'd be doing this again!

Working on the new frame I had delivered round 1 course wire brush on the Makita 2nd round 80 grit flap disc de bur all the welds and removed all extra slag 3rd round HF pressure blaster with medium grit media. Epoxy primer and ceramic paint this weekend. Forgot how much work went into the first one.. Talk about setbacks rather not.
