I wonder how many drill bits that guy went through to get all those spot welds out.

I'm a firm believer in a good frame shop. From my experience, always take it to a good frame shop first. There could be damage further back than you can see. Then disassemble carefully. I usually butt weld a good used piece back on after I clamp the replacement piece on & trial fit everything to make sure all parts line up. Doug

I guess I just needto find a frame shop (reputable) and find out how much this will run to get it pulled back into shape. While I'm waiting to get the funds together I will go and find a good donor car to pull that frame rail from.

OK I am going this route to fix the bends and rust..







I was talking to another mustang nut friend and he has a parts car that I am welcome to come and get the pieces I need off of that car as it will be going to the salvage yard soon. I will grab that driver side frame rail and maybe the passenger side apron (never know when you might need that stuff) plus the drivers side floor pan. I have a couple cracks under the reinforcement bracket.

I am going to have fun over the Christmas break.
