1939 Ford Convertible frame

[dfoster]

I've recently purchased a 1939 Ford Deluxe Convertible. In the process of taking the convertible frame off to restore. I've noticed that all the joints seem seized up for the frame operate freely. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to improve this? I have removed everything and all pieces have been carefully media blasted. Any advice would be appreciated. Also interested in spare parts or a spare frame if anyone has something laying around in good condition willing to sale.
