Default Recommended Frame Repair Shop

Not certain if this should be posted here in tech or in the general section but I could use a recommendation for a good frame repair shop within 100 miles of my home in Easton, PA. My zip code is 18045.
If you know someone that can straighten and repair a C-3 frame then please pass that along to me for consideration.
I thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,
David Howard

Might be about the same or cheaper to buy another? I know a vette place by me that advertises on c-list has like a stack of c3 frames. I know you can get new upgraded frames with a whole driveline form a place to drop your body on, but that would not be cheaper. Looks like your body is off anyway so I'd call around at least.

Most big body shops have a frame straightener. They pull it back into spec or you can call contemporary corvette in Bristol Pa. They are a corvette savage yard. Word a deal for a frame would be best since you are already striped down or cut a frame section and weld. There's a guy in Reading NJ on rt22 that builds race frames and trailers. He's near the John Deere dealer but I can't think of his name.

Dave u might try posting in the C2 section. The C2 crowd is much, much more involved with restoration and frame/frame-off repair/restoration.
