Thing Shop top and reinforced frame vs ThingParts top and frame?

Does anyone know if Thing Parts frame with top already attached is extra reinforced like the The Thing Shop one is? If not i will email Mike tomorrow. He is much closer shipping wise for me is the reason i ask.....

Thingparts USED frames are not reinforced.
Thingparts NEW frames are reinforced

The top you speak of has a pending sale, if it falls thru, I can let you know.

however there is still a used frame with no top cover

http://www.thingparts.com/top-frame-vw-thing-convertible-assembly-used/

there and you can get the reinforcement kit also to strengthen it .

If your a pretty good do it yourselfer you can make this used one work with the stiffener kit and some killer rivets

hope that helps,
Parts come and go quickly over here so keep an eye on the website, if you see something your interested in and the inventory is set at 1 or 2 you should call or contact me immediately before it gets gone.
Or click and pay
Or I can reserve a part you might be looking for in case I get something in before it hits the website.

thank you, Mike Owner/Driver

so wait! Is this reinforced? This is the one i would be going for eventually. I have to wait til mine comes back from the shop and it gets a little bit warmer here.

my current frame is slightly bent and i am not so patient or handy with rivets.
