Going from those pictures, the frame looks good. Were you able to jack the car up and really take a look at the frame? If you can do this, bring a tool with you to see if the epoxy will chip off easily. Don't worry if it does, because if its to that point the epoxy wasn't doing anything anyways...besides keeping in the moisture. How do these two cars run? how do they handle? Is one much better than the other? You may also want to contact Rob Grady or DMC Houston and ask them if they have any information on those VIN numbers.
