Default Re: 1959 Skyliner Frame Restoration

The fact the car still holds together with that section of he chassis missing is testament to how good the X frame is. If you lift the body off the frame on both your cars you will see that it is not that hard to graft the X frame to the sedan frame. Lots have done it before. These days with a little time and practice and a MIG welder you will find that it is not that hard to do. You could always just pick up one of the frames you have seen at swap meets.
Either way you will be pleasantly surprized how good it will look if you take your time, do it once, do it right.
Regards
