hi to all i have just got a body shell of a 1975 corvette t-top
that i want to turn into a historic race car but i need alot of parts the first part i need is a chassis can anyone hellp
-
Jim
if you only have the body
it may be financially better to buy a complete car damaged to salvage the parts you need.

i have been thinking about that but i don't know where i could find a damaged car from
-
Mate I seen a car on ebay in asutralia recently, the the body look really rough
but was complete
I will go back through my records and see if I stall have the info
but keep an eye out something will come up
I know a fellow I deal with in Texas who I can ask to see if he know of any thing
Is yes I will put up in touch with him

Mate no luck with finding the vehicle i mentioned
Any way get on ebay USA and look for corvette protects
see what you can find you can get good value their if you are patient
" Remember this "
Believe nothing that you are told when buying in the USA
A lot of flippers will call a turd a chandelier if they think you will buy it
If it looks good its most likely sh_t
if is looks Sh_t its most likely junk.
don't go by cost of anything that will bring you down.
polished Sh_t can have a high price be careful
IF YOU THINK SOMETHING IS WORTH BUYING
PAY SOME ONE TO HAVE A LOOK AT IT FOR YOU
Money well spent

Gee
I hope that language is not to colorful
I had a lot of other nouns and adjectives in mind that I mite have used.
But I think this could be a PG rated family forum.

thank you for all the info i wil keep looking on ebay thanks

Jim back again
look at this one in canada
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Chevrolet-Corvette-/320694459417?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item4aaae11c19
see where the price ends up
looks good has had a lot of work done
? why
check out the photos of the exhaust
it tells a lot
see that problems in the chassis above where the exhaust goes through and the floor bracing behind in in the photo
and that is in a photo that they are showing every one
I find it interesting to watch what comes up for a few months
as well as who is selling them.
record everything
oh look as much as possible in the drier states
no states that have snow and ice you know what they put on the roads when there is ice about
( SALT )
wonderful for the chassis

-
that one looks very bad.
you dont have any parts do you? thanks.

Jim
There is a possibility of a chassis
I am looking at modifying my chassis to take a C4 Rears suspension
IF I can not get that sorted with out .
I will buy a Streetshop chassis from the states
and I too have a number of parts to find.
( Doesn't every one )
Their area lot of people on here who will help with info.
I have found that since I joined this forum
Bfit
-
all right let me know about the chassis when you can
-
if any body has any spear parts that the don't need could u let me know
-
that's no 11k car, looks straight as, and the the undercarriage photo's confirms that
-
Yes
I agree Jethro it will sell for a lot more
form the over all photos it look good
I am extremely skeptical when it comes to buy a car.
How ever I always ask
Why all the new work?
ask all the question before making a decision

I have been looking for just what some chassis's are for sale and what is asking price
What a range there is
Form 345 US to 8K us
this one looks to be in close to new condition
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370499559958&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:top:en
I guess If you want an Excellency job you pay top money

Very , very true! wonder how much handeling and freight will be?
-
Freight On chassis
the last quote I got was $1500.00 plus customs. duty and gst
I thing that is very optimistic though
plus cost to get it to a Western USA departure point

10K exercise minium I reckon ? but a new base to start with wouldn't be that bad an investment if the resto so the Vette is in gerat condition ?
