tacoed,

Man I sorry to hear about the frame on your '77. Even more sorry to hear you want to get rid of the rest of her, and that you don't have to much longer in the States bummer.

I see frames for sale on eBay from time to time, it's a :cry "donkey" shame that you don't have more time to make this decision..

Best of Luck, and if I hear of anyone looking for a 77 minus the frame, motor and trans I'll let ya know.

You might want to check this out. It's a 1980 on Ebay that had a garage collapse on it. Maybe it has a good frame.

Somthing is bound to go right for you sooner or later.

First sit back and take a deep breath and don't do anything your going to regret. Try calling this gut,he may be able to help you;Jim at 608-365-7116,also seems to me that some of the Corvette wheeler dealers magazines have ads that sell frames,although I don't know what they run for price.

Frames can be repaired as well, depending on how bad the problem is. Replacement frames go at all different prices. You will want to hang on to that 77 at this point and use it for parts on the 69. The interior on the 77 is much better than 69, and you can transfer those parts over, as well as the column etc. Yow will get your money's worth out of parting it out for your own cause.

Good luck!

I agree with barrier5 on contacting Jim Stevens. They sell new and used parts for 63-82 Corvettes. I met them at the Jefferson, WI Little Carlisle Swap meet. They're reasonably priced; sold me a physically perfect '76 hi-rise hood for $80; needed extra clearance as the 350 330HP Crate engine's intake is the same as a Edelbrok Performer but made for GM. I called them and told them what I was looking for, when I got there he had a number of hoods laid out for me to select from. Nice, knowledgeable, accomadating people.

Try this site: http://www.cranescorvette.com/chassis.htm
They have a bunch of frames and it looks like they have 75-79 frames for $1400 according to their website(which is a little raunchy). Don't give up there are places you can get good used frames.

This might interest you. It's a "rust free, damage free" frame on Ebay. The Buy It Now price is $450 and it's located in Waco, Texas.
