Does anyone make replacement frames and/or frame sections for the early Vettes?

Better have the body suspended to hold it up when the frame dissolves to sediment.
There are frames around, the one in the above link has 4 days left in the auction and is only at $2,500. The cost and time to bring that car back from that level of rust would cost more than it would be worth with the replacement frame, plus, wouldn't it need a "birdcage" too and how much to get the engine repaired ? Could be a boat anchor....

The seller, who is a member here and well regarded in the hobby says the birdcage is ok. I may be the minority but this looks like a great chance to get into a documented big block roadster at a great price. Most restos go full Monty on the frame anyway. Find a chassis from a resto mod and move on. Is a reframe regarded the same as a rebody? I’m ignorant about this.

I think someone will get a good car here…

Do you think Charlie Snyder’s k-motion corvette is worth any less because Joel Rosen had to change the frame cause it was bent. I understand a motion corvette is an entirely different animal compared to a rusty framed big block corvette that has to be restored but I think you are right on that this is a good buy if is bought low.
