Looking for 1980 Frame help or to purchase

[Vertigo]

I have a 1980 Corvette that I recently purchased. It is now in my garage and on blocks. I have it on blocks and did a thorough frame inspection and noticed a couple "frame rot" areas. The specific locations are: under the door hinge and forward. I am looking for suggestions on what to do? Do I just replace the frame or can I just replace these sections. The rest of the frame is good.

Well, if you're looking for a replacement: Corvette Replacement Frames

or: Street Shop Inc. C4Midyear Corvette Replacement Chassis

or try these guys as a starting point: Corvette frames C2 C3 1963-1982 corvette frames

Mmmm. not sure about buying a used frame as it may have the same issues but I'm sure there would be some good used frames either from ebay or the Kijij

Could you post pics of your frame so people can have a look and tell you if it's repairable or not?


Oh, by the way, if almost forgot, WELCOME TO THE FORUM!!!!!! I hope someone here can give you some real direction instead of my useless pasting of links.

Here is a thread that will hopefully help. http://www.canadiancorvetteforums.com/forums/pictures/984-adding-photos-into-threads.html

Do you mean just the hood hinge supports themselves or are you talking the actual frame? The hood hinge support brackets are easily replaced; the frame is more of a challenge.

And welcome to CCF! Great people on here!

I am looking for an entire frame.
