Default 69 Convertible needs frame help

Hey Guy's looking for a little bit of help. My 69 has a very tender underbelly. I want to find a rolling frame from a 69-70 coupe that i can have the top cut off and then combine the two cars or I could replace the frame front to back.
Whyat are some good forums or sites to find project cars for sale.

What exactly doe it need?. Mustangs are uni-body cars there is no actual frame on these cars.

Hi,
As Mike said, Mustangs don't exactly have removable frames. When you say the frame is rotted front to back My thought and guess is that your car has rotted inner rocker rails,torque boxes, and floor pans? If that's the case you would need to buy them and weld or have them welded in. Convertibles have completely different underside makeups than hardtops to account for the lack of a roof.
