I have acquired a 1965 Caliente convertible the someone has attempted to modify the frame and did a terrible job. I am looking for someone in the Fl panhandle area to weld in some new frame rail sections. I can trailer the car to the location or they can use my shop that has a lift
. I am located in Holt, Fl. Thank you

Welcome aboard!
I can't help you with the welding (I'm in SC), but I hope you'll start a build thread so we can follow along. Good luck on your project.

If I were in Holt, I'd hang around the track and ask around.
There are definitely fabricators networked w/ that crowd.

Welcome! There should be several down your way, have you looked in and around Crestview, Pensacola, Ft. Walton, etc.
Keep us posted on your progress, and pics are nice to see.
