Welcome Tony. Start by filling out your profile, telling us a little bit about yourself, showing off your Vette, and going over what you've done to it or what you want to do to it.

This may help with posting pictures.

I'm not very computer freindly, takes me a load of time to figure things out.
I have a 76 vette, purchased about a year ago but started work on it three weeks ago.
««car in very bad shape, no motor no trany, rusted out everything, to make it short.
Why did i buy it? I'm good with the hands. Own a steel fabrication shop, small one!!! Self taught welder. Plus i enjoy a challenge.
Will try to post pictures, my wife will help, she's better at this than i am.

durango boy suggested i sign up with photo bucket, so i did! already having trouble, give me some time, i'll get better at this.
O.K. let's start with a little help with the frame. I'm ready to remove the body. Once i start on the frame i want to make sure it's going to be straight. Where can i get measurments to make sure it's all ligned up? My intention is to set the frame level from the floor then as i repair just measure the hights from side to side but if i can find a spec sheet it woud be nice. Anyone!!!

Take a look at BarryK's website. He had frame diagrams with dimensions on the site. To find the site, do a member search for BarryK and the site should be listed in his profile.
