Seriously harris there is not a frame that can be separated from the body.
As to the color it most definitely is Iris Blue as it is the same as my car
(IRIS). I would be glad to send you the formula for PPG Concept Acrylic
Urethane but be aware that just the paint and catalyst was about $600.00 for
2 gallons which is what it will take by the time you paint the inside and
underside. Second item is beware of those who promise cheap body work as 90
% of the time that is just what you will end up with.
