[Fot] TR frame square, straightness?

[Rob]

with all the work that goes into a restoration  and with the tub off at this 
time it would be great to get it on to a modern frame machine. The measures 
are accurate,and you will have  peace of mind.Also if you have handling 
issues  having the frame out of the equation will be a big help      rob
