Not sure about just a frame, but you could try copart.com for a donor car. I see lots of salvaged 128's and 135's with flood damage which should leave you with a decent frame. You can't buy direct from them without a dealers license, but they have links to different brokers on the website. I bought a salvaged e36 that I'm doing a v8 swap on and the process to buy was fairly easy.

You could also try to have the frame straightened most big body shops will have a frame rack that can get a car back to specs. You'd have to find someone experienced because it's easy to get it wrong.
