ASC with the stamped 'C' shape plus boxing seem to be a lot more desirable(to me, anyhow) and you only have the heat zone in two places. Regardless, you have the TCI frame, it is a reasonable quality and it needs to be fixed. There are ways to go about that successfully and I, for one, would appreciate it if you keep us updated on both the repair and Grundy.
I'm with you, Dave.... I've put together a bunch of Deuce frames, every one of them from ASC rails!!!!! They are strong, and when reinforced and boxed properly will take a heck of a pounding....one of mine was thoroughly crash tested when rearended by a (what else) drunk driver.... They hold up well.
Also built a fast one for a guy, low 10's with no twist or flex, good stuff!!!
