switch frame on corvette?
I have a salvage title 94 and I've been dumping money into it. I bought it with a TON of performance parts running good for 4k. The reason it is salvage is because of a 15 mile an hour rear end. All that happened to the vette was the bumper was bent and the hinges on the hood were bent and lights were cracked. it has all been fixed.
I bought the vette to be a weekend quartermile car but now I am thinking resale value. I am still going to build the car up and my original plan was to buy another corvette, just a shell and swap everything over and junk the old shell.
Just out of curiosity, would it be a feasible option to just drop it off at a shop and have them switch out the frame?
How much do you think this would cost?
or am I better off just using up my garage for a few weeks switching everything over which was my original plan.
If i can just hand someone 2-3 grand to switch out the frame I would do it, just wanna know if I am in the ball park.

All the fixed body panels are bonded onto the chassis permanently and require cutting off to remove
