Jules repo body assembly

I would doubt that either new frame maker with allow the frame to flex much. I don't think the Jule frame will flex at all. I don't understand the previous posting where they thought a little flex was good.

I measured the orginal frame on my car where the rear axle sat. The frame had balloned out under the axle. Essentially the frame had shortened top to bottom and become wider because the metal was rusting/ or ? The other issue I had with the old frame was a bend from the front to back where the tips of the front of the car were 2-3 inches higher than the rear of the car. Try fitting body pieces to that!
Those are the reasons I went for a new frame. It is straight, thicker, and will last longer than the rest of the car or me.

Hello every one, I've just recieved e-mail from Kilmartin. They provide a complete assembled frame, but they do not provide the inner body panels assembled. They do provide the inner body panels separately.
I have also gotten an e-mail from Martin at Jules. We are planning a phone conversation shortly.
The evaluation goes on.
Thanks, Dave C.

Your site is confusing in how it is laid out. Where can I see the kilmartin frame on your site?
