A fairly popular conversion is a late front and rear frame clip onto a '56 thru '62 chassis and stock body. At least 2 companies are making kits to adapt the clips to the body mounts. Once done, other than the wheels, it's an old looking Vette with some juice and stopping power, not to mention a lot better handling.
The 55 to 62 frames are very springy. I,m surprised that the backdate industry would use 56-62 chassis and isn,t doing it the other way around The 63 to 79 chassis is much preferred in my book
I have had 2 different 64's and my mother used to have a 75. We have also had a 55,79 and 88 in the family. I and many like the midyear 63 to 67 best.
