The shop has done a few cars for some guys I know, not to mention there are a couple other frame shops around here, but the going rate on a frame job starts at about $400 and goes to $650 at the shop that I called (they are supposed to be the best one around) I thought about converting to a different frame, I still might, its just the fact that I have to locate a 66-67 elky or convertable, where I am I am lucky to find a 66-67 Chevelle anything flipped on its top and gutted to the gills. I saw an El-Camino the other day, it looked sort of rough I left my phone number if the owner wanted to part with it, I figure if I could get it I could swipe its frame and go to the junkyard and put the body on an S10 frame (it works, I know of a 67 Malibu that is like this, its original frame was hashed, the guy had a junk S10 so he sat the body on that frame, a little work later you cannt tell it unless you know what youre looking for). But the main thing is I would like to keep the old girl on the same chunk of iron she left the factory with. BTW thanks for the info about the 2 and 4 doors, I'll go measure my frame, its still going to be awhile before I get to start putting her all back togather, so I maight be able to run into a deal ;) Josh Wounded 66SS396 >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Frame dimensions >Date: Mon, 22 Oct 2001 13:23:58 EDT > >josh: >any idea what they want to straighten the frame? maybe this would be the >time >to look for a convert frame. they are boxed and stronger. also at that time >you could blast and por 15 or whatever to it. maybe a lot more work but >????.ADP HOLLANDER shows the 66 chevelle frame same for 64-66 chevelle 2 DR >sdn., hardtop and convertible. also 4 door sdn. and hardtop. i disagree as >far as the frame shop not having the specs. any good frame shop should be >able to hunt down the frame specs from somewhere. good luck! > Larry _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp ----------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe please visit www.chevelles.net/list.html To start a new topic, send mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
