Repealing the 16th and 17th amendments could be done at an art. V convention. That might save the republic.

Perhaps. But who knows what other kinds of chicanery could've taken place.

I know the 17th Amendment has to do with how Senators are elected, but where was it established that The House will consist of 435 members?

It seems to me that if any part of The Constitution should be repealed, it should be the part that set the number of Representatives at 435.

That might've been fine when there were 100 million Americans but now that there are over 330 million, it seems that number should be upped quite a bit.

As it stands, what we have is a Senate and a Mini Senate.
