i wanted to sell some parts and a guy came and buy all my stuff and told me about the panel !
sounds good and some weeks later i picked up the Panel (Saturday 25th)!

the Panel was build in Swiss , then buy a guy in belgium and make all the Body work except the Doors!
he run out of money and now he is in my Hands!!

a couple of thoughts...
I noticed that you are in germany...
A new/used 63-66 frame might be expensiveto purchase,and transport overseas...
you are going with a dropmember anyway,and porterbuilt makes one for a 60-62,and to set your burb up like dinos with the rake, I think all you would have to do in the rear is a 'C' notch, or a small step notch.
either way I think even fabbing up an entire new back half would probably be cheaper than shipping aa frame overseas.
the body looks nice btw.

That´s right i´m a Potato from Germany.

I already have a Frame he came with the Panel , only the Frame no front or Rearend . i bought the dropmember before i had the Panel ! I think that i´m use stuff from ridetech for the rear , i hope it is the right decision ?!

Sorry Guy´s for my bad english!!!!!!!!

I'm a German from Idaho, and I just happen to be bald AND used to be a potato farmer!! Lol. Lived in Pocy for 8 1/2 years when I was a kid. Drove through there a few years ago, good Ol' Simplot still at it! Wish I could have rescued my beloved 73 K20 from the farm while I was up there!
