Default WTB - 57 Corvette drag car or project

A friend of mine is considering getting into a 57 Corvette former drag car or old gasser or a project that would be suitable for building such a car. He would want a good solid frame and a decent body. Anybody got one or know where he can find one? He asked me to post here to see what might be available.
Thanks,

He might consider the replica 57 Corvette bodies. There were some made that did not allow the doors to open. The hood and the trunk opened. There were often built on rectangular steel tube frames.

Much cheaper that a real 57 Corvette body.

Here is a link to one that just sold on Ebay:

You might be interested in this one - not a 57, but close:
