Hello, Not sure if my first reply, went out. So sorry, if you get this twice. I have a 1977 with a rusted out frame. I just renew my Corvette Forum and found you. What a great chance for me, to get my 1977 back on the road. I would appreciate all the pictures you have on the car. I possible will have my Son in Law stop by and look at everything, if we can figure out the deal. We live in Michigan, so for me to stop in my be a little tough. So, I have a big question to ask. Would you part with just the chassis and all of its parts, not the body. I have a perfect 1977 body and interior. I really don't need another body. Plus the less you handle these bodies the better. The real reason for liking your chassis is, I am disabled. So, the less wrench turning the better for me, and the new wing, I just put on the Hospital, that I visit because, I am 55 years old and still a kid. So, please be straight with me, as I will be with you. This is a very important deal, for me to get this car which was my wife's fathers car. I took the car off the road, when I tried putting a floor jack under the drivers side frame. I heard and saw pieces of frame flake and break off. So, being the bad guy, I pulled the car off the road. I didn't want any killed because of the softness of the frame. So, you could really make me look good here. So, I will wait to here if you still have the frame and please send all the pictures. Regards, Bart Polich, Grand Rapids, Michigan. bpolich46@gmail.com
