My 65 Bel Air has major frame rail cancer. Rats. A local guy has a rolling frame at a reasonable price. I think I can borrow a borescope from work (airline) to help inspect the frame before I buy it, but I am looking for suggestions from you guys on how best to inspect a used frame? What to look for? Where to concentrate? I will definitely be looking at where the trans crossmember attaches as that is where my cancer is.

Also, if I buy it, what do you guys recommend for cleaning/painting? I can't afford to have it dipped....not sure I would anyway. How best to deal with the inside?

Any comments would be appreciated.
