Who has replaced a front frame rail on a 71 A body? - 03/14/12 12:38 AM
So I was poking around on my 71 Dart the other day, and crept down to peek at my left front tire.
well, wouldn't ya know it? A pretty small, but still there, rot hole. Its around 2 inch in diameter. I am pretty confident that if I start grinding away to patch, there will be more.
So my question is this...who has replaced a frame rail on an A body? Should I just bring it to a good body shop...whom will probably rake me over the coals in pricing.
Keep on mind this a grandma fresh 198ci Dart with some sheetmetal rust. Definently not a high dollar car.
I appreciate any ideas you guys can offer.
