Question: 1963 to 1967 Corvette Stingray body off restorations

[2010corvette]

Hi,

Question?

When restoring 1963 to 1967 Corvette's, should the AO Smith frame be replaced with new frame, or can the original really be fixed/repaired?

Depends on condition - if the rear of the boxed side rails and rear kickup areas are heavily corroded, either the rear frame section or the entire frame should be replaced; Vette Products of Michigan manufactures both.
