Hi All, I have considered a project for the class next year, rebuild a skylark frame to put under my 70 convertible. But, what should I look for? Are convertibles different from hardtops? Is the 70 different from other years? Thanks, Paul Strassner Intructor - :Smarty: Automotive Technology
Paul, 68-72 GM A-body convertible frames are different then the ones used for 2-door coupes/hardtops. The convertible frames are boxed. The frames also change between years. 68 frames have an extra tongue under the engine cradle, while the 69-72 frames are basically the same with only slight differences. You can also "create" a convertible frame from a coupe/hardtop frame by welding in the convertible boxed sections. I hope this info helps. Duane
