Get a tape measure that reads in metric. Open the manual I sent you to page 2-3. That 1778 measurement is the one you are interested in and it should be the same left pillar to right front and right pillar to left front.
From your pictures, it looks like a small kink in the area of the dry sump tank. Look at the flat surface on the bottom of the frame. Only going by pictures so I could be wrong.
I measured it out and it's the same so the frame rails are good. It's the wheelhouse that's the issue. If you look at the bolts on top, you can see how far off it is.
The first picture looks like lines for the AC system . The second picture are for the engine oil cooling system, hooks to an small radiator in front of the water and AC radiator.

See that you say the condenser is still hooked up , then the first picture is for the transmission cooling, and the second picture is for engine cooling.

So then I assume the whole wheelhouse is no longer glued to the frame??? If so and the measurements are correct, you "should" be good to go. Start looking for parts

It's sort of just hanging there and I can move it with my hand. I'm going to need a new wheelhouse but I'm having a very hard time finding one. Seems odd the right side is discontinued.
I have all the body panels & headlights but nothing underneath. I think I'm missing everything on the front, between the frame and bumper. I wish I knew someone with a corvette so I could see exactly what I need and how it goes together.

I find it strange if they discontinued this part when the cars sold to 2013, I think it have changed partnumber,not listed discontinued here :
Well keep an eye on ebay. You may have to settle for a damaged one and fix it. Also try AutoWorks. He has many salvage Vettes. If he doesn't have it right now, ask to be put on a waiting list.
So far I have both fenders, hood, rad support, a/c condenser. Everything else that's not in the picture is pretty much what I need, plus a pass side wheelhouse.
It had a k&n intake, but it was damaged so I have to get another one. Not sure if I should buy a stock or aftermarket intake. Any advice?
