1. I am in the early resto stage of a 65 'rustang' convertible and am
thinking of running a tubed frame from the rear to the front for added
support. Any advice? Does anyone have a picture of their job when in
progress? Any help is appreciated.

2. Does anyone know how I can get the series of videos PBS did a while back
(few years) on restoring cars? They restored (if I remember right) a '65
or '66 mustang.

Thanks!

Brian,
As for #2, a guy across the hall from me had a crude taping of the
series, and they restored a '65 convertible. Most of the series was
dedicated to the paint and body work, with almost no time spent on
engine, suspension, interior, trim, etc. If you don't hear from anyone
else I can try to get a copy from this guy and send it to you (if he
still has it!).

I think I know why you want a tubular frame, but is the extra cost going
to provide you with that much more rigidity? I don't think so. Probably
the economical way to go is to weld subframe connectors in. They will
surely (no I'm not calling you Shirley... ;D ) do the trick. Good luck!!
