Complete frame
A while back I posted a thread that my frame was toast and that a new one would be needed. I got some great info from the members. I'm currently leaning toward buying a brand new frame and various components from Vette Products from Michigan. I'm wondering now if I should just let them assemble everything. Another option would be to send the frame to Van Steel and have them assemble the components. I unfortunately don't have a lot of excess time on my hands nor the knowledge to completely reassemble the suspension, etc. Do any of you have an opinion or experience with either of these companies complete restoration services?

Re: Complete frame
Hi Michael,
If I may, a question or two or four.
What do you mean by 'reassemble everything'? Are you using your original parts, all new parts or a combination of new and original? How might all the parts end up at the right place at the right time? Are you thinking of having them build a 'rolling chassis' for you?
Van Steel rebuilt the trailing arm assemblies for my 71 a few years ago and I was pleased with the work they did.
I might be able to offer an opinion about how you might best proceed if I hear a little more about your situation.
