possible frame trouble
 
so my camaro hasn't been up on a hoist yet. if there is a decent amount of rust in the frame then are there any fixes for this?? grinding it out? reinforcing it?

omg man haha well how would you go about doing the frame rails?

daleas88 Aug 31, 2009 02:42 PM

truthfully im not sure all i know about them is....... i was told if you dont get them perfect then the car would not be "square" anymore and that alot of stuff can go wrong while doing this so i just went and got another car lol

from under my car they look kinda crusty.

i would say if its rusted out its gonna be a lot of work and money, i have a 78 thats is falling apart on the bottom but i just cant seem to part with it. I know i will have to after college hopefully to buy one in better condition when i start making some money instead of spending it all on college tuition.
