I am unable to jack the car high enough to take decent photographs. I have contacted several local garages about putting the car on a lift for photographs. Unfortunately, their insurance will not permit me under m car while it is on their lift. I have spent the past five years restoring every part of the running gear from stem to stern. I spent several thousand dollars to have the frame \"professionally\" restored. The reason for this, I discovered after I purchased the car at auction, there were several holes through the inner part of the frame at the \"A\" pillar locations on both right and left. The restorer cut out all rusted areas and fabricated new sections of the frame. The garage is a highly respectable restoration shop and took every step to maintain the original geometry as well as preserving the frame with state of the art materials. I have included a copy of the receipt to BaT but they did not include it in my listing. All I can say is trust , there are absolutely no issues from the undercarriage prospective. I have spent a small fortune getting the car in the marvelous condition it is in today. I would keep it for myself, however I can not maintain and enjoy it as I did prior to my recent heart surgery.
