Default SRIII question

I was looking at the web site for SRIII chassis for C2 and saw near the bottom they will take your frame and modify it front and rear like their tube chassis. My question is has anyone out there gone this route and how satisfied were you with the results. I know the cost is much less and I would love to keep my VIN on the frame but have never seen this done before.
What say ye? and of course Thanks in advance.

I think Mike quit altering stock frames a long time ago. He needs to update the website.

Paul Newman chassis I believe started the upgrade to stock chassis years ago, but since closed shop. Sriii is the strongest and highest quality. I personally bought three chassis. Mike is a straight up business pro.��

I think roadster shop chassis is the best chassis ever built.
