Hmmmmm, we may be having an issue with terminology here. Far as I know, a corvette, only has one birdcage, which is a large assembly of sections to form the skeleton of the body. When you say you need four birdcages, you need to be much more specific as to what exactly you’re looking for. Perhaps look for a diagram, parts book for the AIM assembly manual and see if you can get a better idea of what exactly you’re looking for and post it to us. Good luck, Ike.

Agreed, there seems to be a terminology barrier here.
But judging from the statement about needing pretty much the entire windshield frame. I am assuming that the OP is dealing with a terminally rusted car.
with that in mind I would suggest looking for a good rust free donor car.

I know the OP has a convertible but for anyone reading this thread with a coupe, here's what that birdcage looks like. Much more to the structure - much more to rust.
