Hello  my Dad just bought an 89 convertible.  it is a cool little car but it has a broken convertible frame.  I have begun researching this and it seems to be a common problem in that year car.  I need to find a new frame.  does anyone out there know where I can find a new or good used convertible top frame.  thanks in advance.

First place I would check with would be Hydro-E-Lectric. They've been doing Mustang power top stuff for decades, and do late-models as well. Not sure if the frame parts are reproduced yet, but he might have a line on good used parts. Also check with Late Model Restoration Supply, as they seem to answer a lot of the typical Fox Mustang issues with repro parts (often with the original Ford supplier)...

Congrats to your dad on the purchase. Have fun with it!
