Resto mod frames
Thinking of building a resto mod 63. Before I get to far into planning this, I'm wondering if I can get some opinions from guys who have used the various frames that are out there. There was a thread on this a while back, but a lot of cars have been built lately, so maybe an updated discussion is warranted.
Also be interested to know what the latest trans options are...
Thanks

My personal picks.
Corvette Correction http://www.corvettecorrection.com/
SRIII Motorsports http://sriiimotorsports.com/
Jamison Corvette http://jamisoncustomcorvette.com/
I've built on other's, but these would be my picks. Personally, I like the ride of the transverse mono spring vs. the coil over, so my number one pick would be Corvette Correction. There is a LOT of hype out there, and plenty of other frames, but these three guys have been in it from the beginning. All have great customer service and great products. The tubular frames "look" great, but are a PITA to keep clean/maintain.
I'm currently building a 67 roadster on a Corvette Correction chassis, with a LS3/4L65E automatic. I'm using the EZ TCU, so I will have a programmable manual shift mode.

Thanks, Mike, I'm leaning toward the same powertrain.
I'd like to be able to use C4 suspension components and leave the body stock. I know that will limit my tire choices, but I'm Ok with that. The Corvette Correction web site says their frame with C4 components will require some body mods. Do you know what that entails?

Billy sells this piece to cut in. Picture from the top and bottom. There will also be a little trimming of the front inner wheel wells.
