Re: [Classic Mustang] 64-1/2 Info

Oh please. How could you consider rebodying a late model car with a classic body a frame off? They are both still unibodies.

Just accept that people call it a "frame off" restoration when a unibody car is stripped to the basic body structure (and frequently beyond). It may not be an entirely accurate term, but you know what they are talking about.
