With the cost of Mustang parts these days and the difficulty in finding them, you may find that working with what you have is better financially. I have a 69 and 70 convertible and when I did the frame prior to covering on the 70 it was a bit on the rough side. My recommendation to you is to first check out the structural integrity, meaning, mount the frame on your car and check out the frame strips that way and look for any cracks, weakness, etc. If everything is structurally sound but needs cosmetic refreshening, go that route. Drilling and retapping is not that bad, especially when you consider what you would have to pay for another frame that probably has a "different" set of problems to contend with (ie bent or missing strips, etc). Do you have the ability to post pics here of the frame in its current state???
