Default Cannon's corvettes (Moyock NC) chassis service?

I used to drive by their shop in Moyock, NC every year when I was a kid. It was like Disney World for me, we'd stop and check out every single corvette. I also noticed that they have a massive pile of frames in the back.

Anywho, has anyone used their rolling chassis service? (http://www.cannons-corvettes.com/rollingexample.htm) Any idea who's parts they use? Do they do performance upgrades?

Its pretty expensive, but the fact that you can pull your body off, roll your old chassis out and roll a fully restored chassis under it might seem worth it.

Ha, is this spillover from the VB&P hysteria? I emailed them, so I will post exactly what they are.

The pictures of chasis work are vintage (7 years old). The owner died and the current work performed was the worst ever seen by an assessor of my "restored" corvette. The vehicle sits 3" too high along with other problems.

If you want to see pictures of the work go to :
