I'm looking for a 80% M1911 frame, there are online vendors for this item, right?
If there are, I would appreciate a link.

If it's your first build, BE CAREFUL!!!
The guy above....he's a "dealer and a gunsmith" and has never heard of an 80% frame? I almost wonder if he's ever heard of a "frame" at all?
Addendum to what's his name above.....
You're a "gunsmith" like my *** is a beauty queen, bud. You don't know jack **** about the most basic of gunsmith topics/skills....and every time I have to correct your sorry *** you simply go back and edit your posts so it looks like you have something other than **** between your ears. This one is no different. You went from "never heard of an 80% frame" to being an expert on constructing one in the short time it took you to read my post.
I'm not an "expert" on anything. You don't see me claiming to be. But I *DO* know when you're full of **** as you are most of the time.
To the future readers of this thread that missed it all, JD, the "licensed gun dealer/licensed gunsmith/licensed gun appraiser/licensed Rambo wannabe" started off with "I'm a licensed gunsmith and I have never heard of an 80% frame". Funny how his post doesn't say that anymore. Heck, he'll probably delete it altogether now.
And just for the books, 80% frames tend to be finished to the point that there is no heavy machining left to do. Holes will be partially drilled etc and can be finished with a powerdril or a Dremel.
80% frames are also perfectly legal to complete....as long as the completed weapon is legal for the person to own, he can build his own version of that firearm without paperwork or permits of any kind. In other words, if you can legally own a pistol, you can make yourself one. It will still have to be registered if store bought ones have to be in your state. The only thing you CAN'T do is sell it. If you sell it, it has to be registered with the BATF as a weapon (serial numbered), you have to get the permit and pay the fee to construct weapons (be a manufacturer), and you have to pay the taxes on the completed firearm.

There used to be ads for those in Shotgun News but I haven't seen the ad for a long time.

A starting point would be checking with Midway or Brownells and if they don't have what they want they are generally able to point you in the right direction. Numrich, also. Sounds like a good project for cold winter weather that you have in mind.

I am a Gunsmith, an 80% frame will require a lot of machining and hand work to complete .Are you sure that is what you really want? They come stripped, unfinished, stainless steel, blued,parkerized, kit form, etc,etc,etc These kits are not for beginners, and take some real talent and skill to machine/finish and complete correctly.....
NOTE## On second thought, just ignore everything I wrote here and listen to Randkl...He's Yahoo's Answers self appointed critic and resident "Expert" on firearms........
