Frame Enhancements Anyone?
Does anyone have pics on any mod's to help reinforce the frame? I have a 77 stripped down and now would be a good time to reinforce the hell out of the thing...

I added some gussets to the lower control arm mounts and added some steel plate to the bottom of the crossmember to repair previous damage from jacking.
I think there are numerous posts on frame mods people have done.
This was the site where I got my inspiration

Pick up a copy of the Chevy Power Manual (5th Edition, 1984).
The whole of Chapter 6 is devoted to "Corvette Chassis Preparation" (C2 and C3) and tells all the places to reinforce the frame, add gussets, remove and replace pieces that hinder performance (e.g., bump stops), tweek alignment, etc.
