conv top frame repair

Post by Royce Richmond »

To replace parts of the conv. frame on a 66 tbird, is it better to remove the frame from the car to make repairs or is it better to do the replacement with the frame on the car? Not fun!!!

I would say it depends on the part. If you need, for example, to punch out a pin you need to consider how fragile the parts are and how much stress they will be in during the repair.I took mine off but also wanted to “restore” the frame.
