You can take a look at this one also http://www.streetshopinc.com/

i have done one using one of the vendors listed above and had great results,the only caution i would voice is the ride height,and what your expectations are, the rear coil overs do not have alot of room for adjustment and travel, they tend to bottom out if the car
is lowered at all.getting the stance is doable but it dosent ride well.
wheel hop was also an issue.

thanks for the info.

Here is a pic of ZO66 frame. we tried everthing we could to get acool stance and a great ride, but it was one or the other.. And as he mentioned, with a bkown LS6 motor, you could get some real wheel hop going if you were not carefull about it.

You can see some pics here

Another option. Seems like the Hedges frame is set up for a lower ride height than the other options.

A big question you need to answer on the front end that helps determine which frame you CAN use will depend on whether you are willing to CUT the body to make the body fit one of the aftermarket frames.

If you are willing to cut/modify the body you have more options. If you are unwilling to cut the body and do not want to run severely offset wheels to fit under the stock Mid-year Corvette fenders (C2) about your only choice the The Street Shop frame.

C3's give you a few more options.

If you haven't seen it already, a similar discussion is going on here.

Edit: Corvette Correction frames are talked about here by people that have them.

Doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of "meat" in that corvetteforum thread link, at least not yet. I kept waiting to see something useful to grab hold of, but all I got from it was the hint from the guy who mentioned adapting some of his circle track experience (without giving any details).

BTW, having adjustable height is nice, but along with that comes the possibility of really screwing up the corner weights if you don't do the job with a set of scales handy. It's not a job to try to do by eye.


Edit - The SRiii chassis that uses three-tube frame rails is interesting if rather more complex to build. I wonder how its weight compares to a single-tube design of equal overall stiffness.
