I am not in any big hurry, what is the current wait time?

Responded to you in the other other thread as well, but I’d just call Mike and ask. He was having a hard time getting materials and people to show up for work when mine was built. Hopefully things are better now.

Thanks, I got a long way to go. I can't decide if I want to resore my original frame or go with an SRIII tube Chassis.

Have you looked into what the Roadster Shop might have available?

No I have not considered a RS chassis. I have nothing against them, as they have a great reputation, a lot would depend if I can use my stock rear quarter panels without making any modifications. Thanks for the suggestions.

I love the idea of a classic-looking Sting Ray with modern goodies underneath.

You can use your stock rear quarters with an aftermarket chassis. I kept mine. I’m still able to run a 345 tire out back, too. You just have to cut out your factory floor and glass in an aftermarket piece to accommodate the narrowed frame rails and bigger wheel tubs.



Roadster Shop is a nice piece. I contacted them in October of ‘21 about a chassis and they told me it would be March of ‘22 before they could get to me. No idea what the turnaround looks like now.
