Default Frame swap 65 to 67 Coupe

I am in the process of a Frame-off on my 67 Coupe. As you may have read from previous posts, I need to replace my frame. I found a real nice 65 Roadster frame. I know there are modifications to the park brake linkage and the center seat belt cable bracket that need to done. Also I have to remove two body mounts. Other than that, I think the frame will be exactly the same. Is there anything that may cause me problems here??? Thanks, Kurt

You can leave the center convert frame mount on the frame, the hole is in the rocker in the coupe and it will not interfere with anything. The only non mentioned mod is that you will have to drill holes for the brake line clips. 67 lines run in a different location then the 65's. Use your 67 frame as a pattern for the correct location of these clips. Overall its a fairly easy swap.
