Anyone deal with Corvette Connection in Bolton CT? I'm thinking about having them fix my 64 frame rust problem.

I had them work on my 64 a couple of years ago and the work was very well done and I was very happy with them. They fixed a broken valve spring, rebuilt my distributor, new plug wires and motor mounts, water pump replacement a a few other housekeeping items. They will give you a complete evaluation on a Saturday if you make an appointment as the previous post relates as well. The only negative is that they wanted to fix every little thing wrong with my car while it was there and I had to prioritize according to the most pressing things and my budget at the time. But again, the work was first rate and the car has never run better. I would go back there again for things my regular mechanic or myself can't fix.

Since I posted this question 7 years ago, I ended up fixing the frame (and everything else) myself.

A lot of my Corvette buddies speak highly of these guys. The only issue I have had with them is that it's almost impossible to get a cost estimate from them.

Do you mean Corvette Center? One or two guys use them as well. The owner of Corvette Connection split off from them. There's still some bad blood between the two establishments.

Having spoken with both of them there's no doubt about it.

Peter,

It's the Corvette Center in Newington, Ct. that does our body and paint work. We've done business with them for 22 years now (how times flies!) and they've done outstanding work for us.

You know, I was saying to myself when I read the first post of this thread -- "I thought he fixed that frame long ago". I remember you used plug welds to join the pieces.
