Midyear Frame

[Jack Hengehold (New Member #???)]

I am in need of a frame for a '67 convertible.

I have heard that a cheaper alternative is to use a later model frame and make some modifications. Does anyone have experience with this who can shed some light on what really needs to be modified, which frames are good (or bad) candidates for conversion, etc.

If anyone knows of availability of any actual midyear frames, that would be appreciated also.

Thanks, Jack.

You might want to check with Cranes Corvettes in San Diego, CA. Cranes specializes in Corvette frames and usually has good, used, rust-free, California frames in stock. You can "dial them up" at the site shown below

Re: Midyear Frame

I have a midyear conv frame. I purchased it a year ago and never got to use. It is a new frame from Michian Corvettes. I would make you a very good deal on it since I have no immediate plans for it in the future. The frame was reblasted, etched primed and painted. I apologize if this is not the forum to sell such things, but just wanted to help. Thanks John

Jack, I can recommend America's Finest Corvettes out of Ramona (San Diego), CA. (888) 31-VETTE. Mike is the owner's name. He does the conversion frames and does a quality job. I bought one a year ago, and was VERY impressed with the attention to the details.
