looking at my rusted rear frame rails.... is there somewhere i can just by replacement rails or would it just be best to patch them. i've got some sheet steel and a welder, done it on a chevy c10, but it was a small repair. this repair on the camaro will be huge. most of the whole section in front of the axle is destroyed. anybody with any ideas?

Npdlink.com has rear frame rails for 67-81 (different rails for specific applications of course) on page 104 of their "Body Parts and Sheet Metal" section of their catalog. Prices range 124.95 - 164.95 for standard U.S. made and the "46� long. High performance type w/extra sway bar support plate. Also features safety sleeve offset for better installation into old rail. 14 gauge steel" are 154.00 or 166.95 depending on application.

 

thanks bro. that helps a lot. i was thinking about just making some custom rear tube chassis setup, cause i'm gonna tub it, but not right now with the rails that cheap.

thanks again,

Thinking about tubbing it? I think there's some in that same catalogue. Or you could go to Detroit Speed (based out of Charlotte, NC). They have a bunch of performance parts for second gen that are top notch.

 

thanks man. it's not my camaro. but a customer is telling me what he wants, and it changes everyday. i'm supposed to get him a price on fixing the frame rails stock, tubbing, and tube setup. but thanks for all the info.
