Hi
Just joined today. Looking forward to participating.
I have a 60 that I have owned since 67 and used as a daily driver until 1980. Looking to restore/upgrade it now. As it was originally a NE car there is substantial rust damage to the frame. Looking to make it a nice driver. I would like to modernize it with a new frame, suspension and brakes. Does anyone have any recommendations on “reasonably priced” replacement frame. I see there is one from vetteframe.xcom in SC that looks like it would fit my needs. Does anyone have experience with them and their product?

Welcome and moving this to the C1/C2 section for some help.
I think that guy copied Billy Dawson's frame design. It's a C4 based setup which is fine for a nice cruiser. Ive used one of Billy's C4 frames and it went together nice and Billy provides great support. The C4 option is also pretty affordable compared to the high dollar Morrison stuff. Where are you located. Another good option is the SR111 frame with C4 rear and C5 front suspension as a "budget" build.
