My husband went down to Scott’s shop in Knoxville with his mechanic and explained that the original frame on the Chevelle was bent so it needed a frame. They said they could make one and had 4 other orders for chevelle frames. They said it would take 6 months so he decided to go ahead. The motor sits 5 1-1/2 inches too high. They suggested he chop up the car and modify the frame to make it fit. So what was the purpose of getting this frame - it should have been turn key. My husband purchased this car from a classic car dealer and hired an independent mechanical engineer to examine the car. So, he got screwed by the seller, the mechanic and now Scott’s.
No - this is not a fake account. I posted this on behalf of my husband because I am beside myself over this. My husband is recovering from major cancer surgery (bladder and prostate removed) which occurred after he ordered the frame. So, getting this car on the road was supposed to be a positive thing in his life. Now, he’s discouraged and stressed. And, I am worried about how this will impact him. We are going back to NYC next week for follow up cancer screening with his surgeon. So, I am doing whatever I can to help him find a frame!
