Source for 64 frame sections/mounts
Would anyone know of a good source for frame sections or the steel mounts for a 64 Roadster. I'm dealing with some serious rust issues in the rear section of the car frame and am wondering if I should look for another frame (what year frames would be interchangeable) or is there a good source for the various body mount areas that need to be replaced?
Thanks

Vette Products has every metal part you will need, plus they produce complete frames.....

I bought a rear half for my 64 vert (everything behind the trans crossmember) from them. Everything lined up perfectly after I welded the frame back together. Here's a post with some pics from the reconstruction:

FWIW
In '91 I replaced my badly rusted frame ('67) with a new "back dated" '79 parts counter frame.
An early '63 - '67 rear section approx from the differential crossmember back was spliced on and the body mounts were relocated as necessary.
I was much more comfortable with this rather than patching the original due to strength issues. I was driving it every day.
Now I have a removable trans crossmember.
Clutch work is Much easier.
