I am in the middle of trying to restore a 66 Mustang Convertable...the frame of the car needs some major work and wanted to find out if anyone knows of a shop or person that know's their stuff when it comes to frame rebuilds. Don't really trust a body shop with it because they tend not to be good with the entire frame. Anyway, if you know of a place or person...please give me their info.

BTW, I did read the sticky about body shops, but like I said, body shops tend to only do work on portions of the car and not the entire frame...

Thanks

 

Why not just purchase a new frame? I don't know about classic 'stangs, but for classic Camaros, all the frame parts are still available. Unless you're going for a Concourse restoration, just buy a new frame. It'll prolly cost less than a run on a straightener.

 

you can try Ronnie Setzers Customs and see what he says. im not too sure if he does full frames, but i know he does good work. hes located off dale mabry. i believe the number is 813-879-1616. just do a google search.

 

I am in the middle of pricing out frames...but I wanted to get a quote of a frame rebuild and determing the least expensive...that is why I looking for someone to evaluate the current condition of the frame and give me a quote. After I get the quote, I would make my decision.

Does Ronnie Setzers Customs do classic car restoration, because for some reason, I have heard of the name before?

Thanks for you input.

i know a guy that makes frames for cars and builds drag cars on the side. but he's in port richey. a few months back a guy wanted a 32 ford frame. he said the price of steel had gone up fast and that the guy could buy a frame cheeper than he could make one. if you just need repair work, i'm sure he could do it.

but he's kinda far from you. IM me if you want his #.
